Week 10: How to Forgive and Move Forward

Forgiveness lies at the very heart of the Christian faith. It is both a command and a calling — an imitation of the mercy God has shown us through Christ. In Colossians 3:12-14 and Matthew 6:14-15, we learn that forgiveness is not optional for believers; it is the natural response of those who have experienced grace. Unforgiveness traps us in bitterness, while forgiveness releases us into freedom and peace. Through forgiveness, we reflect God’s character, restore broken fellowship, and rebuild love within the body of Christ. This lesson calls believers to lay down resentment, trust God with justice, and move forward in mercy, allowing His grace to heal what has been broken.
