The ability to forgive and forget is a key principal that is laid out in the Bible. Christ taught a lot about how we should forgive others. There are three aspects I want to cover: God’s forgiveness, our forgiveness for others and the ability to forgive yourself and move forward.
A habit is “an acquired pattern of behaviour that often occurs automatically”. Bad habits will reap bad results. Good habits will reap good results – it really is as simple as that! We have to eliminate bad habits as they could prove to be a barrier to our eternal future!
It is easy to do something so many times that it becomes commonplace. If we are not careful we can actually come to the point where we start to treat God’s commands and Holy Days with contempt. But to do so possesses some very serious threats to our eternal salvation.
During the Days of Unleavened Bread, a wave sheaf was to be offered. Jesus Christ fulfilled that offering upon His resurrection and ascension to the throne of God to become the firstfruits of salvation.
Have we truly declared war against this world and all that it stands for? If we profess Christianity as a belief we are also professing, like Christ, that we have come out of this world. Have we? Words mean little if we are ill prepared, or unwilling to completely step away from Satan’s influence.

The Holy Days reveal God’s framework for mankind’s salvation. They outline—that is, map out key elements in God’s Master PLAN. The Feast of Unleavened Bread teaches us about removing sin from our lives, but there is much more for us to learn during this observance!
The importance of drawing close to got and put distance between you and sin and Satan’s influences. The greater the distance from sin the closer to God you will be. Also a look at the 7 promises for those who overcome.
Jesus instituted footwashing in connection with the NT Passover as a symbol of service. It is a physical reminder of the principle He had taught them before that they ought to be as He was – and do as He did – Matthew 20:28 states that “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” As Jesus said in John 13:17: “If you know these things, happy are you if you DO them.”
Paul tells baptized members of God’s Church to partake of the Passover, but he also admonishes us to examine ourselves first, so that we do not eat and drink in an unworthy manner. What then are we to do?
