As humans, the most beautiful things in our life come out of relationships with others.

And often the most painful things in our life come out of relationships with others.

But in Ephesians chapter 4, verse 23, the Bible tells us to be kind

to each other and tenderhearted, forgiving one another just as God through Christ has forgiven

you. I believe in this scripture is one of the most significant keys for having

relationships be a blessing to us and having relationships with others on this planet give life to us

instead of taking life away from us. But first, we must consider, how has God forgiven us?

As our scripture declares that we are to forgive one another, just as God through Christ has

forgiven us. So how do we forgive others? I'm going to read some statements about how God has forgiven us.

And as I read them, open your hands as if you are receiving a gift.

And when I pause after each statement, ponder the statement, and thank God because that is truly how He has forgiven

you. God has forgiven you by stating that as far as the east is from the west, that is how

far God has removed every single wrong from your life.

There is no limit to the amount of times that God will forgive you.

His forgiveness towards you is over and over and over again. God has created a place, and he called it the sea of forgetfulness.

And everything that you have done wrong, God cast into the sea of forgiveness

so that He remembers it no longer.

And finally, God does absolutely nothing to make you earn his forgiveness.

Jesus has already done all the work.

This verse tells us that we are to be tender-hearted.

Simply is a nice way of saying having a soft heart,

that there is room and space in every area of our heart
