Forgiveness Is An Absolute!

Matthew 6:14-15, "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins (against you), your heavenly Father will not forgive your sins."

Luke 23:34, As Christ was being nailed to the cross He said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

Acts 7:60, At his stoning to death, Stephen cried out, "LORD, do not hold this sin against them." In the above words of Christ, "Father, forgive them."

To forgive such extreme sin, should make us realize forgiving others and asking others for forgiveness of sin to not have pride keep us from doing so.

Trials and Testings

Matthew 6:13, "And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one."

Commentary shares, "GOD doesn't lead us in temptation (as man would think), but sometimes allows us to be be tested by them. Pray to be delivered from these trying times and deliverance from Satan (the evil one) and his deceit. All Christians struggle with temptation. Sometimes it is so subtle that we don't even realize what is happening. GOD has promised that He won't allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. (1 Corinthians 10:13) Ask GOD to help you recognize temptation and to give you strength to overcome it and choose GOD's way instead."

Forgiveness

Matthew 6:12, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."

Billions of trillions to the quadrillionth power of sins Christ took upon Himself for all of mankind's sins from beginning to end!  Yet, the only ones forgiven will be those who truly from their heart asked Him to forgive them of their sin. (Mark 16:16)

Do you know how GOD has forgiven you? You now can forgive others. If you can't forgive others, you have not accepted in your heart, Christ's forgiveness of your own sin.

Matthew 6:15, "But if you don't forgive men their sins, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your sin."

Forgiveness works both ways. Just as the Father remembers your sin no more (Micah 7:19), so we should remember no more the sin of others upon us. 

Provisions From GOD

Matthew 6:11 continues the LORD's Prayer by saying, "Give us this day our daily bread." Our LORD is the "Bread of Life." 

John 6:51, "I Am the living Bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever." (Christ's existence before He became a Man.)

1 Corinthians 1:18, "For the WORD of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of GOD." Physical man in the flesh cannot understand this, but once you have been born again in your spirit, it becomes perfectly clear! How can you be born in the Spirit?

Romans 10:9, "...if you confess with your mouth Jesus is LORD, and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Upon salvation, the Holy Spirit enters you  and GOD opens up Himself to you! What begins is a fellowship with a Holy GOD!
