3. What will you do when you have a disagreement with a fellow Christian?

We are united, but we are also imperfect. Sometimes we disappoint or even hurt one another. So God’s Word tells us to “continue . . . forgiving one another,” adding: “Just as Jehovah freely forgave you, you must also do the same.” (Read Colossians 3:13.) We have hurt Jehovah countless times, and yet he has forgiven us. So he expects us to forgive our brothers. If you realize that you have hurt someone, take the initiative to settle matters.​—Read Matthew 5:23, 24.b

5. Forgive freely and make peace

Jehovah forgives us freely even though he will never need us to forgive him. Read Psalm 86:5, and then discuss these questions:

• How great is Jehovah’s forgiveness?

• Why are you grateful for his forgiveness?

• What situations could make it difficult for us to get along with others?

How can we imitate Jehovah and remain united with our brothers and sisters? Read Proverbs 19:11, and then discuss this question:

• When someone annoys or offends you, what could you do to make the situation better?

Sometimes we offend others. When that happens, what should we do? Play the VIDEO, and then discuss the question that follows.
