About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

HOW IMPORTANT IS FORGIVENESS?
HOW IMPORTANT IS FORGIVENESS?
IS THERE SOMEONE YOU NEED TO FORGIVE? ARE YOU WAITING FOR THEM TO FORGIVE YOU? WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE. IF THEY THINK YOU ARE THE ONE THAT DID THEM WRONG, ASK THEM TO FORGIVE YOU AND YOU FORGIVE THEM. SOME PEOPLE DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IS THIS YOU?
JUST REMEMBER WHAT JESUS SAYS ABOUT FORGIVENESS IN MATTHEW 6:14:15 "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." THIS MIGHT SOUND LIKE A CONTRADICTION IN THE SCRIPTURE BECAUSE WE KNOW ALL OUR SINS HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN. WE HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS JESUS TALKING AND HE HAS NOT YET DIED FOR OUR SINS. I PUT THESE SCRIPTURES IN JUST TO SHOW YOU HOW IMPORTANT FORGIVENESS IS TO JESUS. IF YOU STILL THINK THAT FORGIVENESS IS NOT IMPORTANT TO HIM, LOOK WHAT HE TOLD PETER WHEN PETER ASK HIM "how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?" JESUS TOLD HIM "I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." I BELIEVES THIS MEANS WE SHOULD ALWAYS FORGIVE, NO MATTER WHAT.
GOD DEALT WITH ALL MEN'S OFFENCES BY PLACING THEM UPON JESUS WHO WAS JUDGED IN OUR PLACE. WE DIDN'T EARN THIS FORGIVENESS AND FOR US TO DEMAND OTHERS TO FORGIVE US IS NOT CHRIST LIKE. JESUS DIED FOR EVERYONE'S SINS, EXTENDING FORGIVENESS TO US WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS. SHOULDN'T WE DO THE SAME?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
