Matthew 6:14
Matthew 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Many times, we forget the negative implications of unforgiveness. Yes, when we refuse to forgive those who have erred against us, not only is our relationship with them at risk, but We also have to bear the consequences of a broken relationship with our heavenly Father. When you refuse to forgive, you must remember that Your forgiveness always depends on it. If you do not forgive others for their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also withhold forgiveness from you. We must be careful about our daily conduct. Some people want to believe they have the right to withhold goodness and mercy from others but are always deserving of it from God. Don’t think because God is love, He will break His own principles. A principle such as this one will hold even with the fullness of mercy God reserves. When you give mercy, God gives you mercy too. You must learn to forgive others, not just for them but for yourself. You must learn to be minimal with offense-keeping and let the love of God take absolute control of your being. Remember you have been recreated a love-being, that you may love just as your Heavenly Father.
Colossians 3:13
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Luke 23:34
Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
Genesis 50:20
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
