How Do I Forgive? 

(Matthew 6:14-15) For if you forgive other people when they sin against 

you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive 

others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins. 

(Luke 23:32-33) Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with 

[Jesus] to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, 

they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the 

other on his left. 

(Luke 23:34) Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know 

what they are doing.” 

How Do You Forgive Like Jesus? 

1. Pray for those who hurt you. 

 

(Luke 6:28 NLT) Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who 

hurt you. 

(Matthew 5:43-44) “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your 

neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies 

and pray for those who persecute you.” 

2. Forgive as you have been forgiven. 

 

(Colossians 3:13) …Forgive one another if any of you has a 

grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 

“Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and 

hoping the other person dies.”
