The Beauty of Repentance

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:  “In repentance and rest is your salvation,  in quietness and trust is your strength,...

Isaiah 30:15

Produce fruit in keeping with repentance

Luke 3:8

The time has come, the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news.

Mark 1:15

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,... 

Acts 3:19

God’s kindness intends to lead you to repentance...

Romans 2:4


2. Step into the messy middle.

If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses.

Matthew 18:15-16

We have to go to the source.

3. Forgive.

“Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?”

“No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!”

Matthew 18:21-22

The 4 Forgiving Commitments:

  1. “I will not dwell on this incident.”

  2. “I will not bring it up again and use it against you.”

  3. “I will not talk to others about it.”

  4. “I will not let this stand between us”


by Ken Sande, Peacemakers

How to Forgive

  1. Say these literal words: “Will you please forgive me?”

  2. Say these literal words: “Yes, I forgive you.” 


Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:32
