Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered Himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God. ~ Ephesians 4:32-5:2

“If we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all wickedness.” ~ 1 John 1:9
We imitate Christ through Intentionality
“You are the light of the world like a city on a hilltop cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see so that everyone will praise your heavenly father.”
~ Matthew 5:14-16
We imitate Christ through Forgiveness
Then Peter came and said to Him,
“Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?”
“No, not seven times,” Jesus replied
“But seventy times seven!”
~ Matthew 18: 21-22
