IF CHRIST had not paid the price , we would have no hope . And if JESUS came to save sinners , OF WHOM ALL MANKIND IS , due to I aint ever met one person who has never sinned once in their life . ONLY JESUS did that . IF we cannot forgive those who persecute us , THEN GOD WILL NOT FORIGIVE YOU your trespasses . AND JESUS WORDS cannot be BROKEN . With understanding by grace , THIS became clear as to WHY this is the case . WHEN a man realizes BY GRACE , yes by grace , that the ONLY and I mean THE ONLY as IN ONLY , GOODNESS one truly has , IS THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLY ONE within , WHEN by grace , yes BY grace , men realize JUST how utterly wicked man is , including THEM SELVES . WHEN by grace sin becomes exceeding sinful , the person is made very aware , that the ONLY GOODNESS that resides in them COMES FROM GOD . not us , FROM GOD not us , FROM GOD , not us , FROM GOD . cause our flesh is wicked contrary . WHEN by grace , a man realizes that he is saved soley BY GRACE , for he was first drawn to CHRIST by GOD , not us , we did not lead ourselves to JESUS , GOD DID . IT GETS REAL SIMPLE and EASY to forgive those who hate us . FOR OUR DESIRE IS TRULY < TRULY for their good . YES , I said for their good . WE WANT THEM SAVED . Folks we need to return to our bibles and pray to GOD for that first love to return on hearts . You know , lusts and others things REALLY DO choke the word right out of folks . WHEN by grace , yes I said by grace , WE learn by the SPIRIT as we read BIBLE doctrine , we learn to be both grave and compassionate . And we realize that those who are LED of the SPIRIT are truly free from the curse of the law . BUT THE KEY is , LED as in ARE WE FOLLWOING THE SPIRIT . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if we do not forgive then we keep the resentment and bitterness inside of us. And then we dont walk in fellowship with God. Christ forgive them while he was nailed to the cross. People who wrong us usually don't know what they are doing. It's hard to forgive in cases where someone murdereda love one. But we can trust God has it in his hands. Still hard I bet. It takes the holy spirit working in our hearts. Let's keep forgiving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus said, “Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying 'I repent,' you must forgive them." (Luke 17:4). Jesus says “must forgive,” why? Because I believe He being God knows what unforgiveness creates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus said we have to forgive. Thats it. That is His command to us. No matter what it is, we are to forgive. It may be that we have to also ask the Lord to change our hard hearts so that we can forgive someone, but it is still commanded to us to forgive. A few years ago, my brother in law was murdered. That is unbelievably hard to forgive, and yet since He said to, I had to. I prayed for the murderer to get saved (still do when I remember) and I prayed that He soften my hard heart. I will never meet the murderer. I cant deal with crazy. But I have forgiven him and pray for him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
