Colossians 3:1-17
Forgiveness
Do you understand your new identity in Christ?
Becoming who you are in God’s eyes.
Putting on the character of Christ. - You are something new
So we have the promise of God’s character. Wisdom, Peace, Humility, Forgiveness. -
The Christian doesn’t behave the same way the world does. The world is no longer our marker.
In fact this is how Christians first were recognized they were so different - they loved one another they took care of one another.
Forgive as Christ forgave you.
How did Christ forgive us.
First he identified with us.
Secondly he willingly paid the price.
That is what happens in forgiveness we identify with the offender and then we pay the price.
We approach one another with this wonderful gentleness when we identify with one another.

And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, wi ...
