‘Our Responsibility As Jesus’ Disciples To Forgive Other Believers.’
Luke 17:3-4.
a) We need to take heed to ourselves first, before interfering with other people.
b) If our fellow True Believer sins we should rebuke them for it rather than gossip about them behind their backs.
c) If our fellow True Believer repents we should forgive them.
d) If that True Believer sins against us seven times in a day and then says that they repent, we should forgive them.
(In this Second one I realise My Responsibility As Jesus’ Disciple To Forgive Other Believers)

Chris.
There are wicked people and sometimes it is very difficult for us to accept them. We wish that they would disappear, go away or die. God sees them differently however, He desires them to come to a place of repentance and find new life in Jesus Christ. Through the Gospel of Jesus Christ even wicked people can be made a New Creation.
