Forgive and forget—What does the Bible say (Part 2 of 2)

Why do we remember the shortcomings of people, the sins of people, the ugly things that were done to us by people?
Because we do not walk in love.
Why is it for all the things that are forgettable, why is it that the bad things they have done to you are not very easy to forget? Because there is a force that brings back to your memory, the evil, the ugly things that had happened in order for the hatred, in order for the bitterness to remain. And while the bitterness and hatred remain, you are under charge of being a murderer

I John 3:15–
"Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him."

The work of satan is to take away the life eternal God is promising us, to disqualify us to have life eternal. It is the work of satan by preserving the hate we have in our heart against a brother, against a fellow human being. The ire, the anger, the hatred, the bitterness that stays is the bullets or the arms of satan in order to win the fight against God to make you inherit NOT eternal life but eternal punishment in hell.

Ephesians 4:30–
"And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption."

Ephesians 4:31-
"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice"

Ephesians 4:32-
"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."

Ephesians 5:1-
"Be ye therefore followers of God as dear children"

Ephesians 5:2-
"And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savor."

If we walk in love, we will learn how to forgive. Love eradicates all hatred, it eradicates all bitterness, Love will take away every evil thing in our person.

I Corinthians 13:4-
"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful"

I Corinthians 13:5-
"it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful"

I Corinthians 13:6-
"it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right."

I Corinthians 13:7-
"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

I Corinthians 13:8-
"Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away."

Everything may pass away, but love remains amd that us what maybe lacking in your heart.
