4.19-
When the heart truly understands God’s love there is a deep
healing that takes place. The root of
this healing is the understanding that God is a forgiving God. He will do anything He can to bring about reconciliation
between man and Himself.
Acts 13.30
26 “Brethren, sons of
Abraham’s family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of this
salvation has been sent. 27 For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers,
recognizing neither Him nor the [e]utterances of the prophets which are read
every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him. 28 And though they found no
ground for putting Him to death, they asked Pilate that He be [f]executed. 29 When they had carried out all that was written
concerning Him, they took Him down from the [g]cross and laid Him in a tomb.
30 But God raised Him
from the dead; 31 and
for many days He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to
Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people.
32 And we preach to
you the good news of the promise made to the fathers, 33 that God has fulfilled
this promise [h]to our children in that He raised up Jesus,
as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘You are My Son; today i have begotten You.’ 34 As
for the fact that He raised Him up from the dead, no longer to return to
decay, He has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the holy and [i]sure blessings
of David.’ 35 Therefore
He also says in another Psalm, ‘You will not [j]allow Your [k]Holy One to [l]undergo decay.’
36 For David, after he
had [m]served the purpose of God in his own
generation, fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and [n]underwent decay; 37 but He whom God raised did
not [o]undergo decay. 38 Therefore let it be
known to you, brethren, that through [p]Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,
39 and [q]through Him everyone who believes is [r]freed [s]from all things, from which you could not be
[t]freed [u]through the Law of Moses.
Ephesians 4.
31 Let all bitterness and
wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
32 Be kind to one
another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has
forgiven [x]you.
Ephesians 5.
5 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;
2 and walk in love,
just as Christ also loved [a]you and gave Himself up for us, an offering
and a sacrifice to God [b]as a fragrant aroma.
The path to spiritual and emotional healing is to receive
forgiveness and give it to others.
