Be on your guard. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him.
Luke 17:3 CSB
The first sentence of this verse means to ‘watch yourself’ rather than anything else. The point here is to be sure you do not offend as top priority; and, then only it is your job to rebuke properly.
When offering a rebuke, however, you must stand prepared to forgive. Indeed, that is to be the whole purpose, to obtain repentance and freely give forgiveness.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your forgiveness. You lead us to be what we would never be on our own. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
