It seems relatively harmless to harbor negative emotions toward people or circumstances that have caused us pain. We feel justified in believing that we cannot simply forgive a hurtful event. In this message, Alistair Begg shows that for the Christian, choosing to nurse bitterness brings about alienation, not vindication. Only by seeing ourselves in the light of Christ’s work on the cross can we cultivate a forgiving heart where bitterness cannot take root.
29bLet no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give cgrace to those who hear. 30And ddo not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, eby whom you were sealed for the day of fredemption. 31gLet all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32hBe kind to one another, tenderhearted, iforgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
