11/15/20 THE ONE ANOTHER’S IN THE NT #27 — Colossians 3:13 (CSB) BEARING WITH ONE ANOTHER and FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive.

Again, the books of Ephesians and Colossians are nearly twins (See 11/11/20 post re: Eph.4:32).

Because each of us is human, it is inevitable that from time to time even the most mature believers will have a grievance or complaint against or a quarrel with another believer. But in light of the infinite price Jesus Christ paid so that each of us could be forgiven, finally and forever, we MUST settle such differences by granting and accepting full forgiveness.

We must learn to bear with, accept and endure each other believers’ weaknesses and idiosyncrasies. Our harmony and unity are powerful, essential tools we need in order to convince a lost world to surrender to Jesus (see John 17:21-23)!
