Bible Study If We are Not Willing To Forgive

[WalterandDebbie]

I was thinking, if I had posted this below or not, so I thought it may be a good idea to remind myself to put it online again to share.

If we are not willing to forgive others, we become spiritual cripples because God will not continue to forgive us. Here is what Jesus about this " For if you forgive people their trespasses their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

But if we do not forgive others their trespasses (their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go and giving up resentment), neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15

We must choose to forgive others if we are to get the forgiveness we so desperately need from our heavenly Father. As we forgive others, a barrier between us and the Lord comes down and we begin to receive more and more of His loving forgiveness.

Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Mark 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
