October 4, 2022~We Must Forgive to Be Forgiven✨

Have a Blessed Tuesday with Jesus.✨ Seek Him First. *It’s easy to ask God for forgiveness, but difficult to grant to others. Jesus gives us a warning: if we refuse to forgive others, God will also refuse to forgive us.

Why? Because when we don’t forgive others, we are denying our common ground as sinners that need God’s forgiveness.

**Since we need God’s forgiveness regularly, we must not withhold it from others, If we do, we’ll lose our fellowship with God.

“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. “But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:14-15‬ ‭NIV‬‬
