Colossians 3:13

"Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you."  - Colossians 3:13



The key to forgiving others is remembering how much God has forgiven you. 

Is it difficult for you to forgive someone who has wronged you a little when God has forgiven you so much ?

Realizing God's infinite love and forgiveness can help you love and forgive others.

Colossians 3:16-17

Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and Spiritual songs with gratitudes in your hearts to God. 


And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of our Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. - Colossians 3:16-17



Paul offers a strategy to help us live for God day by day:

(1) Immitate Christ's compassionate, forgiving attitude 3:12,13);

(2) Let love guide your life (3:14);

(3) Let the peace of God rule in your heart (3:15);

(4) Always be thankful (3:15);

(5) Keep God's word in you at all times (3:16);

(6) Live as Jesus Christ 's representative (3:17).
