3 Image from: Transformation Through Trials

4 The Church and Sin in Jesus Teaching Image from: Jesus taught that Christians should help each other with sin.

5 Luke 17:3-4 3 Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, I repent, forgive him.

6 Matthew 18: If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.

7 Matthew 18: If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

8 The Church and Sin in 2 Corinthians Image from: Paul had written a sorrowful letter, regarding someone whose life needed church discipline.

9 2 Corinthians 2:4 4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears; not so that you would be made sorrowful, but that you might know the love which I have especially for you.

10 2 Corinthians 7:8 8 For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while

11 2 Corinthians 7:12 12 So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the offender nor for the sake of the one offended, but that your earnestness on our behalf might be made known to you in the sight of God.

12 The Church and Sin in 2 Corinthians Image from: Titus brought news that the Corinthians had acted to address the situation, and that the sinner had repented.

13 2 Corinthians 2:6-8 6 Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority, 7 so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

14 2 Corinthians 2:6-8 8 Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.

15 2 Corinthians 2: But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ, 11 so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

16 Some Important Pieces Image from: 1) The Importance of Restoring.

17 Galatians 6:1-2 1 Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. 2 Bear one another s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

18 James 5: My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

19 Some Important Pieces Image from: 2) The Importance of Repentance.

20 2 Corinthians 7: For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while

21 2 Corinthians 7: I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.

22 2 Corinthians 7: For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

23 2 Corinthians 7: For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

24 Some Important Pieces Image from: Notice the difference in sorrow of the world and godly sorrow.

25 2 Corinthians 7: For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

26 2 Corinthians 7: For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what avenging of wrong! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.

27 Some Important Pieces Image from: 3) The Importance of Forgiveness.

28 2 Corinthians 2:6-8 6 Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority, 7 so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

29 2 Corinthians 2:6-8 8 Wherefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.

30 Some Important Pieces Image from: Remember, the motive is love and the goals is forgiveness!

31 Luke 17:3-4 3 Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, I repent, forgive him.

32 Let s always take sin seriously, encouraging repentance and forgiveness. Image from:

33 James 5:16 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

34 Receiving God s Salvation Hear Hear about Christ (Rom. 10:17) Believe Believe in Christ (John 8:24) Repent Repent/Turn to Christ (Acts 3:19) Confess Confess faith in Christ (Romans 10:9-10) Be Baptized Baptism into Christ (Acts 2:38, Rom 6:3-4)
