What Forgiveness Is and What it Is Not: Kevin McKissick, Romans 12: 17-21; Lamentations 3:21-24

Forgiveness Is
·       Good
·       Other-centered
·       Active
-         An individual response

Forgiveness Is Not
·       Evil
·       Self-centered
·       Passive
-         Reconciliation

1. Forgiveness seeks peace, not vengeance. 

2. Forgiveness places trust in God, not others.

3. Forgiveness is actively generous, not passively frugal.
 

Take Action!
- Where do you see unforgiveness in your life?
- How might God be calling you to be actively generous this week?
- How can you embody peace this week?
