Forgive


Oct. 7, 2018 Monday Message:

(Jesus speaking:) “Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Matt. 6:12 NIV

The disciples wanted Jesus to teach them to pray, and he included these words. This principle of forgiveness is so important that Jesus restated it again: “If you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matt. 6:14-15

You’ve probably heard the Christian saying, “Let go and let God.” That’s a good idea. It’s unhealthy to hang onto old resentments. And carrying a grudge is just too much work! Today is a good day to clean house. Start afresh – empty your bag of grievances.

As you forgive others, so will the Father forgive you. And forgiven followers of Jesus the Christ will be welcomed into God’s eternal kingdom.
