Forgiveness isn't always easy—but Jesus commands it. In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches from Luke 17, where Christ warns against spiritual stumbling blocks and calls believers to confront sin with humility and forgive those who repent.
When Jesus commanded His disciples to forgive repeatedly, they responded, "Increase our faith." Why? Because true forgiveness requires more than human strength. It takes faith rooted in God's Word, prayer, and complete dependence on Jesus Christ.
Dr. Youssef reminds us that faith fosters forgiveness. When we trust God's power instead of our own, we can release bitterness, reject self-righteousness, and extend the mercy we have received.
This episode calls you to:
Recognize spiritual traps and false teaching,
Confront sin with humility and Biblical Truth,
Forgive others without keeping score,
Ask God to increase your faith,
Overcome bitterness through prayer and surrender,
Show Christ's mercy while awaiting His return.
Forgiveness begins with faith. When Christ strengthens our hearts, we can forgive what once seemed impossible.
