AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately--behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; |
Bible Question: How much is too much when it comes to forgiving someone? |
Bible Answer: I think we should take our example from Christ who forgives endlessly, while He calls us to holiness. We must be careful not to confuse forgiveness with tolerance of sin, in our own lives and in the lives of others. 2 Tim 3:16 calls us to use Scripture as our measuring stick, not to hurt each other, but to reprove, teach, train, and correct in righteousness... all for the glory of God. We are called to love one another... and sometimes love requires accountability to each other. Forgive, yes... let sin continue unchecked, no. |
