Lesson 16 – Amends

Romans 12:1-21 …Foundational Christian Living

Principle 6: Evaluate all my relationships. Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I 've done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others.

Step 8: We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all. (Luke 6:31)

A (Luke 6:37) Admit the Hurt and the Harm- You need to once again face the hurts, resentments, and wrongs others have caused you, or wrongs you have caused others. Holding on to resentment leads to relapse.

M (Luke 6:31) Make a List – In your Inventory in column 1 and 4.

E (Hebrews 10:24) Encourage One Another – With the help of your Accountability Partner and your Sponsor, you will receive encouragement and motivation.

N (Luke 6:35) Not for Them – You need to approach those to whom you are offering your forgiveness or amends humbly, sincerely, and willingly. Don't expect anything back.

D (Philippians 2:4) Do it at the Right Time – This step not only requires courage, good judgment, and willingness, but, a careful sense of timing. Pray, pray and pray.

S (Romans 12:18) Start Living the Promises of Recovery – If we work this step to the best of our ability, we will know a new freedom and happiness, with no regrets.
