Freely Forgiven and Freed to Forgive (Colossians 3:13)

Today’s Bible Verse: “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” — Colossians 3:13

Colossians 3:13 brings forgiveness into everyday relationships. It acknowledges that conflict and hurt will happen—but it also calls us to respond differently. Instead of holding onto resentment, we are invited to extend the same grace we’ve received from Christ.
