“Then Peter came up and said to him, ‘Lord,
how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As
many as seven times?’ Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but
seventy times seven.’”

“Christians are called to offer a present to those
who have hurt them. That package should be wrapped and tied with a
ribbon, with a tag addressed, ‘To you, regardless of what
you’ve done.’ Forgiveness is what is
found inside if the offender chooses to open the package.”

4God’s forgiveness is necessary for reconciliation.
![Page 23: Life Together: Forgive One Another (Colossians 3:12-13)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/554fd5f0b4c905264d8b470a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God who
has reconciled us to himself…. In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them….”
~ 2 Corinthians 5:17-19
![Page 24: Life Together: Forgive One Another (Colossians 3:12-13)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/554fd5f0b4c905264d8b470a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5God’s forgiveness does not eliminate all consequences.
![Page 25: Life Together: Forgive One Another (Colossians 3:12-13)](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081403/554fd5f0b4c905264d8b470a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
For the Christian, forgiveness is a costly commitment to
graciously pardon a repentant person and to be reconciled to that person, although not all
consequences are necessarily eliminated.
