Forgiveness - A Study in Philemon

FORGIVENESS – A STUDY IN PHILEMON by PASTOR T. R. KELLEY

LESSON 01: THE PARTS OF FORGIVENESS

READ: PROVERBS 19:11

IMPORTANT: Whether the offense is big or small, forgiveness is a process that only God can accomplish in us.

Forgiveness is beyond us – it is the work of God in us.

Overlooking a transgression is to look beyond the transgression.

As we forgive, we bring glory to God, for we are never more like God than when we forgive.

I. THE PRINCIPLE PART OF FORGIVENESS

Philemon-Devotionals


Philemon - Warren Wiersbe - Two statements in Paul’s letter to Philemon remind us of what Jesus did for us. “Receive him [Onesimus] as you would me” (Philemon 1:17) reminds us that we are “accepted in the Beloved” (Eph. 1:6). “Put that on my account” (Philemon 1:18) reminds us that Jesus paid the price for our redemption (Ro 4:1-8; 2Co 5:21).
