Key Steps to Biblical Reconciliation:
Initiate Peace (Matthew 5:23-24): Do not wait for the other person to apologize. If a brother has something against you, leave your gift at the altar and go make peace first.
Private Confrontation (Matthew 18:15): Go to the person privately to discuss the issue, aiming to restore the relationship rather than win an argument.
Humility and Repentance (Genesis 33:1-15): Approach with a humble, non-retaliatory spirit, admitting wrongdoing and showing genuine sorrow for the pain caused.
Confession and Forgiveness: Confess sins specifically to God and the affected person, and offer/receive forgiveness to clear the slate.
Involve Others if Necessary (Matthew 18:16-17): If private efforts fail, bring one or two witnesses, and finally, the church community to facilitate resolution.
Rebuild Trust and Make Amends: Take steps to repair the damage and restore broken trust through consistent, godly behavior.
