Forgive To Be Forgiven
In Mark 11:25, Jesus said I have to forgive others so I may be forgiven by God for my sins.
Many times, I hold grudges. I despised people for doing what they did. I didn’t like what they did, so in turn I will not like who they are. It’s a sin of hate.
But I’m not perfect myself. I can’t be a hypocrite and expect others to be clean, kind, or nice. I have to forgive their mistakes.
Every day, I ask God to forgive my sins and mistakes. I hold on to that promise that God will forgive me of my sins, no matter how small it is, or how many times I commit it.
Jesus is the greatest example when He was on the cross and asked the father in heaven to forgive humanity, for we know not what we’re doing. That is the truth: Jesus died for our sins.
Therefore, I must go out there and forgive others as well, for it is God’s command for me to obey.
