The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant | Lie #1: God Punishes Us | Part 19 | Stop anger & bitterness

In this parable, Jesus teaches us what the Kingdom of Heaven is like – when it comes to forgiveness!

In the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus is teaching us about how God, our Father in Heaven, forgives us, and how important our forgiving all others who owe us is to Him. We must keep in mind that forgiveness is the basis of our relationship with God – we cannot have a relationship with Him unless we accept Jesus’ Payment for our sins and therefore God forgives us our sins.

God is asking us to extent the same complete, and total forgiveness from the heart to all those we interact with, the Way He forgives us – and Jesus is reinforcing this reality through this parable. He is reminding us that we cannot be hypocritical and ask for forgiveness for ourselves but punish or ask for punishment for others, but that we must be perfect, as our Father in Heaven is perfect.

I hope you enjoy this video and find it helpful, and I hope it encourages you to join me in this Bible study that will help us not only understand in depth why God doesn’t punish us, but that will help us internalize who God really is, and help us relate to Him as our Perfect Heavenly Father! Because getting rid of the lies in the church that we ended up believing will help us to not only be able to get closer to God and stay in agreement with Him, but also become successful in all areas of our lives – the Way He intended us to!
