Season 2 Episode 3 // Freedom to Forgive
Welcome back to An Abiding Life Podcast with your hosts, Hunter + Kait Poppa. This next installment in our series on "What is Freedom in Christ?" is all about forgiveness—what is it and what is its role in our mission as Jesus’s ambassadors in His ministry of reconciliation?
Here are a few reflection questions to keep in mind as you listen through this episode:
1. How does recognizing our own sin and confessing it to God make us more grateful for His forgiveness? How does confession of sin help us practice forgiveness?
2. How does exercising our freedom to forgive allow us to more deeply experience the Fruit of the Spirit?
3. With the understanding that forgiveness is simply “remembering sin no more,” take some time this week to identify any lingering guilt for past sin that needs to be surrendered to God (or maybe there are some situations or relationships where exercising this freedom to forgive and remember sin no more is needed).
