Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVUnderstanding Forgiveness: A Volitional ActThis video transcript delves into the biblical concept of forgiveness, defining it as a willful, volitional act rather than an emotional one. The speaker discusses the common misunderstanding that forgiveness is a one-time event or an emotional release, emphasizing instead that it is a continuous, difficult choice to release someone from any penalty, punishment, or retribution. The talk also distinguishes between the willful act of forgiveness and the emotional feeling of bitterness.Key Topics:- The definition of forgiveness as a volitional, willful act.- The distinction between bitterness and unforgiveness.- Forgiveness as hard work for Christians.- The practice of keeping "short accounts" as modeled by Jesus.- The biblical example of David as a "man after God's heart".**Main Takeaway:**The core message of the video is that we must forgive. It doesn't matter how you feel; forgiveness is a consistent, willful choice that you make. While the process may be difficult, God understands the pain and suffering that makes it necessary, and he provides the grace to work through it.**Hashtags:**#Forgiveness #Christianity #BiblicalTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #VolitionalForgiveness #Unforgiveness #ChristianSermon #SpiritualHealingThere is a very effective weapon that the enemy of souls uses against us all, to cause us to distance ourselves from God... this is the weapon of un-forgiveness.
