Matthew 6:14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
These were words spoken by Jesus after He taught the disciples to pray. In the Lord's prayer, Jesus made provision for us to ask our Father daily for forgiveness of our sins - AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO HAD SINNED AGAINST US. Sadly, unforgiveness is such blatantly displayed in the Body that demeans the sacrifice of our Lord on the cross. If we as Christian chose NOT to forgive, remember Jesus' warning that our Father WOULD NOT FORGIVE too. Don't let our love turn cold in these difficult times, least we missed His goal and loose our prize. May the following verses encourage us to strife towards love and forgiveness among brothers/sisters. Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
