ST. PAUL'S
TEACHING ON
FORGIVENESS
(Philemon 1)
In Paul's epistle to
his friend,
Philemon, a
Colossian Christian,
St. Paul played a
reconciliatory role
 between his friend
Philemon and his
runaway slave,
Onesimus who Paul
converted to
Christianity. St. Paul
appealed to
Philemon to
compassionately
take back his
former servant,
Onesimus. The
offence of
Onesimus was not
stated, but he
appealed to
Philemon to forgive
offence he might
have committed
and take him back,
this time not as a
slave, but as a
brother. Paul, to
show how sincere
and how concerned
he was, told
Philemon to charge
on his account any
amount Onesimus
must have owed
him.

Lessons to learn
from Paul’s
teaching on
forgiveness
1) St. Paul's
epistle to
Philemon is a
typical
example of
how a person
should
intervene and
reconcile two
quarrelling or
warring
parties. St.
Paul was
sincere and
honest in his
appeal and
was prepared
to take extra
responsibility
by accepting
to pay the
debt of
Onesimus, if
there was
any. In the
same way,
whenever
one decides
 to intervene
in any dispute
between two
individuals,
one should be
sincere in
whatever
approach one
takes.

2) Christians
should
equally be
prepared to
take
responsibility
like Paul to
ensure peace.

3) Paul asked
Philemon to
take
Onesimus as
a brother, not
as a slave.
This shows
that as
Christians, we
should treat
everybody as
equal.
Housekeepers
should be
allowed to
 enjoy equal
privileges
with other
children in
the home.
There should
be no racial
discrimination
among
Christians.

4) Furthermore,
an act of
forgiveness
should go
beyond the
mere action
of forgiving
and include
rehabilitation
and
reconciliation.

5) It teaches the
lesson of
justification
by faith in
which man
who stands
condemned
before God
because of
sin, is
automatically
 forgiven and
acquitted of
his sin
through the
redeeming
blood of Jesus
Christ.

6) As Christians,
we should
intercede for
others as Paul
did for
Onesimus.

7) Forgiveness
of our sins by
God depends
on the extent
to which we
forgive
others. When
we forgive. It
shows
obedience to
Christ's
injunction
which
commands us
to forgive
others their
sins so that
God can
forgive our
 own sins.

8) Forgiveness
restores
peace and
love in a
family,
community
and the
country at
large.
