473 // Why Is God's Love Essential for Biblical Forgiveness? (Bible Study and Devotional)

Hey Sis! 🎙️

Today's episode is our special Wednesday Weekly Check-In, where we pause to check in with ourselves. If you've been feeling overwhelmed or unable to see a way forward, this episode reminds you that what seems impossible to us is still possible with God.

We dive into Matthew 18:21-35, focusing specifically on verses 23-27, where Jesus shares the parable of the unforgiving servant. We examine how the enormous debt forgiven by the king—equivalent to billions in today's currency—mirrors our own spiritual debt that only Jesus could pay.

We continue with Day 3 of our new devotional from Rick Warren titled "Love Forgives," exploring what genuine forgiveness looks like in practice. If you've ever struggled with forgiveness as a chore that stays on your eternal to-do list, this episode offers a perspective shift—seeing forgiveness as a response to evil with good. 

Take a deep breath, grab your Bible, and let's discover how true wisdom leads to a harvest of righteousness! 💛
