BEAR FRUIT – WK 3: Forgiveness (Ephesians 4:17-32)
2026: God is more concerned with who you’re becoming than what you’re accomplishing.
The only cure Scripture offers for a broken spirit is forgiveness.
The path to forgiveness isn't fixing people, it's fixing your eyes on Jesus.
How do I forgive?:
1. Let go of control (4:23-24)
2. Let go of lying & gossip (4:25;29)
3. Let go of stealing (4:28)
4. Let go of bitterness & anger (4:26-27;31)
Righteous Anger (Godly) - loves God, defend against evil
Unrighteous Anger (Sinful) - loves self, defends against others
Being offended is inevitable. Living offended is a choice.
Bitterness is caused when we let negative things that happen to us start to live in us.
The day of your hurt should also be the day of your healing.l
We must forgive like we've been forgiven.
