Q4. Forgiving and Forgiveness


Recommended Posts

If there is sin in our lives, to get rid of it, we need to ask forgiveness. If we do not forgive but keep on holding grudges, then we will not be forgiven. True forgiveness is pardoning someone from what he or she has or hasn't done.  We are forgiven in the sames measure as we forgive and if our forgiveness is not sincere then we too will not be forgiven.

Q4. (Matthew 6:12, 14-15) Why should we continually ask forgiveness? How can unforgiveness on our part block God's blessing? How can unforgiveness block God's forgiveness?

Jesus spoke of forgiveness and forgiving SO MANY TIMES.  The parable of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18 should be enough teaching for us to know, understand, and grasp exactly what he meant.  In Matthew 18:35 Jesus says, “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”  Unforgiveness blocks blessings we could be receiving from God because we allow ourselves to replay and replay the wrong and we are tormented rather than freed as He wills us to be. As we dwell in unforgiveness, we are not forgiven because we do not ask Him.
