“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands Jesus’ followers are called to obey. Yet in Ephesians 4:32, Paul doesn’t simply tell us to forgive—he tells us how to forgive. Our forgiveness of others is to be modeled after the forgiveness God has shown us in Christ.

In this episode of Organic Christianity, we begin by exploring the context of Ephesians 4:17, where Paul contrasts the old way of life with the new life found in Christ. We then focus on the heart of the passage in verses 22–24, where Christians are called to put off the old self, be renewed in the spirit of their minds, and put on the new self that reflects God’s righteousness and holiness.

Only after laying that foundation does Paul arrive at his practical command in verse 32. Forgiveness is not merely an emotion or a suggestion—it is the natural response of people who have been transformed by the grace of God. Because God has forgiven us through the sacrifice of Christ, we are called to extend that same grace to those who have wronged us.

Join us as we discover how understanding our own forgiveness in Christ empowers us to forgive others and live out the new life God has given us.
