Grace for your spirit February 24,2009

Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions   Mark 11:25

A visitor walked into our Bible class one day and asked, “Is this the kind of church that teaches you have to forgive people?”  When he found out that we were, he responded, “That’s what wrong with churches today.  Too much pressure to forgive.  That’s what runs people off.”  I hear there is a great controversy on this subject in the churches.  Who do we have to forgive?  When, where, and why?  It seems simple to me. As simple as the words of Jesus.  Never withhold forgiveness.  Forgive as Christ forgives us.  Urgent?  Yes, because it is a condition of own forgiveness.  Let it go.  Jesus is waiting on our decision.

 

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
