Forgiveness
Choice 2: 2 Corinthians 2:1-11
Review 2 Corinthians 2:1-11; Matthew 6:14-15; Doctrine and Covenants 64:9-10. Then respond to the following questions:
1. What were the people of Corinth commanded to do "if any have caused grief"?
They were commanded to do a few different things. First, they were commanded to make sure that they forgive others so that they can also be forgiven of all the things that they have done that are not good either. Second, they were commanded to love those that had hurt them and to just love their fellow men in general. Lastly, they were told to make sure that they are obedient in all things that they do.
2. What blessing do we see if we forgive?
There are many blessings that can and do come if we forgive. The first is that we will be forgiven of our own sins which to me is a huge one. Along with that we will be able to better love those that we forgive. Lastly, we will be able to be more obedient next time we go to sin again.
3. What is the danger in failing to forgive?
There is a great danger in failing to forgive others, especially when they have sought for your forgiveness. The consequence is that if you cannot forgive others of their sins then you cannot be forgiven of your own sins either and will stand blameless before God for them.
I love the power of forgiveness and the great blessings that will be poured out to us as we choose to both forgive others and seek forgiveness. This is something that I want to get better at, making sure that I seek forgiveness and am quick to forgive people of the wrongs that they commit against me. I know that as I do this I will be able to better love those around me and also learn to quickly forgive everyone which I think would be an amazing attribute to have in this life.
