Bible Question:
Greetings Forum! I spent some time awhile back memorizing the Sermon on the Mount. During that time, Mt. 6:14-15 struck me as two very powerful verses. So, let me throw this question out to the Forum for discussion: What exactly is the relationship between our ability to forgive others and our reception of forgiveness from God? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
Bible Answer: I think that to understand the core of that meaning is to refer to Mat. 18.23-35. In that text, you will find a good illustration of what Jesus could have in mind when he spoke about the forgiveness we should have toward others. |
