Mat 6:14 For
if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive
you:
Mat 6:15 But
if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your
trespasses.
Why won't God, our
heavenly Father forgive us our sins if we don't forgive others their sins?
Because forgiveness
is unconditional love, and if we don't have love we have nothing.
1Co 13:13 And
now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is
charity. KJV
1Co 13:13 But
now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is
love. RV
1Co 13:2 And
if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and
if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am
nothing. RV
We need faith, hope,
and love and the greatest is LOVE.
We can have the gift
of prophecy, we can know all mysteries, we can have all knowledge, we can have
fait to remove mountains- but without
LOVE we are NOTHING.
Our faith must be in
the LOVE of our Savior- Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ the living definition of forgiveness.
Jesus Christ the living definition of forgiveness.
We need to believe
in Jesus Christ and that means having faith in our Savior and ALL He is. If our
faith is simply in Jesus saving us we are lost, because it's so much more than
that. We need to have faith in Jesus saving ALL who are lost, forgiving ALL who
come to Him seeking forgiveness! Jesus
did not refuse forgiveness to any seeking forgiveness.
Why won't we be
forgiven if we don't forgive? Because forgiving is love, forgiving is having
faith in our Savior, a true faith that accepts forgiveness offered not only to
us but to all. If we cannot love others, we cannot love our Savior.
Let us forgive, let
us love, let us believe, all through Jesus Christ our LORD and SAVIOR, now and
forever!!!!!!!
