Bible Question: When you ask God for forgivens for thinking or doing wrong to someone will he not forgive until you ask for forgiven from that person. Thank you in advance for the helping with the understanding. |
Bible Answer: hi genesis3 welcome to the forum, When we came to Christ, asking Him to become our Saviour, we received total forgiveness for all our sins. This must be seen as distinguished from receiving forgiveness for daily sins. (He that is bathed needs not but to wash his feet - John 13.10). With regard to daily sins if we are to receive forgiveness we must also forgive the sins of those who have sinned against us and who repent (Matt 6.15; Luke 17.3-4). If we have an unforgiving spirit against someone who has sinned against us but repented, we cannot ourselves expect daily forgiveness. However, when we come to worship God publicly we are warned not to approach Him until we have put right with our brother anything in which we have sinned against Him (Matt 5.24), otherwise our worship will seemingly not be acceptable before God.
