1 Corinthians 4:15-16 KJV (15) For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. (16) Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

In – in relation to; in the direction of

Begotten – procreated; regenerated

Followers – imitators, mimicks

Paul made it clear that many people may have interacted with his followers, but most of them invested as much love and guidance into them as he had. In addition to this, he shared that he had not birthed them according to his own desires and plans; he instructed them to “follow in his footsteps” and imitate his behavior as he had adapted his own from Jesus Christ so that they would fulfill their temporal and eternal destinies. However, we have often mentioned “imitating Paul as he imitated Christ,” but what does that mean? We can actually gain great insight into the attributes that we must glean from Paul from his personal testimony in Acts 20.

(11) And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. (12) And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. (13) And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. (14) For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth. (15) And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. (16) And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.

(30) I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; (31) And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down.

Matthew 18:15-22 KJV Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. (16) But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. (17) And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. (18) Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (19) Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. (20) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. (21) Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? (22) Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

According to the rabbinical rules of forgiveness, forgiveness of someone should not be extended more than three times. In addition to this, even if full restoration was made, forgiveness could not be obtained unless the wrongdoer requested it of the victim and was pardoned. In Peter’s case, going beyond the standard three was an act of liberality in forgiveness, but in order to illustrate that limitations on forgiveness should never be numbered, Jesus responded with a number demonstrating that forgiveness is based upon the quality of grace extended, not the quantity of times it is granted.

This series examines the level of forgiveness that you're willing to grant people and helps you confirm whether you have truly dealt with people with the same level of mercy that God has extended to you.
