AMPLIFIED 2015 | Mark 11:25 "Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him [drop the issue, let it go], so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions and wrongdoings [against Him and others]. |
Bible Question:
Matthew 6:9-15...And the last couple of verses struck me...I'd never really noticed the gravity of what they really said... "(9)"This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, (10)your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (11)Give us today our daily bread. (12)Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (13)And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.' (14)For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (15)But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." If it's really saying that unforgiveness voids out salvation and if so then why isn't more emphasis put on forgiveness??? Shouldn't people know that forgiveness is virtually as important as faith itself??? P.S. I'd really love some biblical proof of anything you think on the subject...Seedling |
Bible Answer: seedling, I cant even begin to count the number of times I've read this passage of scripture and just as you those last couple of verses jumped out at me. Talk about getting floored,talk about a wakeup call,Boy O Boy! I think allot of us today and I dont always think it's intentional,but we will place the responsibility of forgiveness on God's shoulders and forget that it's encumbent on us to forgive as well. God's forgiveness- Psalm 103;3,130:4,Mt 6:14,Acts 5:31,13:38,Eph 1:7,1 Jn 1:9. God has always taken the initiative in all things. 1 Jn 4:19 We love,because he first loved us. This is God's heart of forgiveness,we are called to the same standard. Mk 11:25,Lk 17:4,Eph 4:32,Col 3:13. Jesus didn't pull any punches here. If we dont forgive we will not be forgiven. I will say this, I dont know about voiding out ones salvation,I do believe that when one allows there heart to get so hard they absolutely refuse to forgive they do put there salvation in jeopordy. But the great thing is we can repent and get our hearts right with God. We may not always want to forgive but when we look back on what God has forgiven us of then we also can foregive others also. We must! Study out the above referenced scriptures I think this will help you to pull this issue together in your own heart and mind. In Christ, lionheart |
