Forgiving Others, Freeing the Soul (Part 2) - Dr. Timothy Keller

Forgiving others in a meaningful way is a very difficult thing to do, especially in today’s culture, where the idea of forgiveness is often distorted. But without forgiveness, resentment and vengeance will poison the soul. Dr. Tim Keller unpacks powerful stories of forgiveness and shares Scripture to help you forgive those who’ve wronged you, as you gain a better understanding of all that Christ has forgiven. Dr. Keller takes you through the steps to forgiveness, including the need to forgive yourself, and how to lovingly confront others. In addition, he shares an update on his battle with cancer.

I guess I'll have to read this book to truly figure out how to fully forgive my father because I simply haven't been able to no matter how hard I try, no matter how many scriptures I read, and no matter how many times I say it. I do not want this bitterness in my heart and yet there it sits.

I need this to forgive so many in my life that I have cut off or others who cut me off. I will reference this through my journey of forgiveness

[edcruz]

Thank you, I listened to both of Tim Keller's messages - powerful.
Made a huge difference and a huge impact on my life. Literally ❤ Many Blessings TK

'False God's can't forgive.' So true!

[johnkloosterman]

Quite something to see this today, and even to hear them comment, at the end, that Keller's time left was precious. They probably couldn't have guessed that he would pass into glory a mere five months from this interview, but they knew it was drawing short. Still compelling to hear the grace and intelligence that Keller had so near the end.

I have forgiven my husband's. And remind myself every time I remember an abuse. Jesus said Father forgive them for they do not know they're all lost. Jesus forgave all of his enemies. His last breath. Amazing. I Love him more than my selfishness and I hate my sin. Closer walk with thee Lord. It's like cleaning and washing me clean. A burden taken away and removes my Tired or lack of energy. He stores my energy with a new start. And making amends to others for my abuse I cause others also. I cannot hurt myself or others with anger. It only hurts me not anyone else. If I cannot make amends I pray and forgive anyway. The Lord reminds me also of my sin. I say yes Lord forgive me. I think he laughs and he knows me. No excuses he says.

[lynette]

[LD-vjht]

It's never loving to make it easy for someone to sin against you.

[adamanthony]

Wonderful as we stand as bridges among differing cultures. Gratitude. Rest. Amen

[cmguipk]

Thank you for the interview. Hopefully there can be more such high quality interviews with Dr Keller in the near future❤

[marlenemartha]

I’m not taking revenge, but release it to the Righteous Judge Ecclesiasties 12:14, 2 Cor. 5:10, 1 Cor. 4:5, ……I believe this is true forgiveness

[fluffymajestic]

It’s really helpful to know you can keep your anger. The people that hurt me most were in a position of authority over me, and forgiving them, always felt threatening to my actual life. But I know I can just merely stop thinking about them, not hold them responsible, not seek return payment, but I can still be angry. That I can do.

[johntobey]

We are glad for God's grace. Glad for both the teaching ministries of :R.C.Sproul, and Tim Keller.

[rochellecaffee]

I often wonder how many times Jesus suffered from a broken heart because of our insensitivity.

[moiraravji]

Forgiveness is an act of self denial! Luke 9:23 if any one would come after me he must …deny himself and follow me!
