IF HE REPENTS FORGIVE / LUKE 17:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Luke 17:3

 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

IF HE REPENTS FORGIVE / LUKE 17:3

Concerning Jesus’ statement about forgiving, observe the following:

  1. Jesus is concerned that we maintain an attitude that desires to forgive and help those who offend us, rather than an attitude of revenge or hatred. 
  2. Forgiveness and the end result of a restored relationship cannot truly occur until the offending person acknowledges his or her wrong action and sincerely repents (expresses true sorrow and makes a complete change). However, our willingness to forgive should not depend on the other person’s attitude. Keep in mind that Jesus was not referring to the same offense being constantly repeated. In addition, forgiveness does not necessarily mean that we should foolishly trust someone who continually wrongs us or others. 
  3. We must forgive anyone who sincerely repents. Jesus’ statement about forgiving “seven times in a day” is not meant to give His approval of habitual sin (the same offense over and over). Nor is He saying that we must allow someone to severely mistreat or abuse us repeatedly. Instead, He teaches that we must maintain an attitude that is always ready to help and forgive others (Matthew 6:14; Matthew 6:15).
