Forgive and be Forgiven

Thankful for God’s forgiveness this morning! May we be forgiving as He has forgiven us! 

Matthew 6:15, But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Isn’t it amazing that the God of the universe is willing to forgive us for all that we have ever done against His holiness? Our blasphemy, our rebellion, our hatred, our wicked hearts can be and will be forgiven when we repent of our sin and trust in the saving power of Jesus Christ though! His power to save reaches down to the lowest of the low. His love transcends any and all types of love on this planet in such a way that anyone that calls out to Him for forgiveness will be forgiven. 

With that being said, why can’t you and I forgive that one who has betrayed our trust? Why can’t we forgive that one who has stabbed us in the back? Why can’t we forgive that one who took us for granted? Why can’t we be “...forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”
