Jesus calls us to extend grace in the form of forgiveness to those who sin against us.

Jesus also calls us to extend grace in the form of redemptive confrontation:

 - to confront privately, to explain the offence

 - if this fails, to try again with one or two others

 - if this fails, to try again with the voice of the church.

Forgiveness does not make the sin OK - the sin needs to be dealt with so that we can live in freedom.

Matthew 18:32-35, Matthew 6:12, Matthew 18:15-18
