Matthew 18:32-35

“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

No matter the depth of our sins by asking for His forgiveness and in forgiving those who caused us pain there is hope. Jesus died for all of our sins. His sinless life given in exchange for ours enables us to change, precept by precept, into the one God created us to be. Change is not easy but a renewed mind and a new heart…those are the gifts He gives to those who choose to believe in Him. 

We can do nothing to earn His salvation but the blood of the Lamb will change us. He will not leave us as He found us. 

To God be all the glory!

Since God has lavishly forgiven Jesus’ disciples, they should continuously extend that same forgiveness. Faithlife Bible.

This verse is a warning about the penalty for not forgiving others. All of a Christian’s sins are forgiven and forgotten forever. But this parable illustrates the Christian duty to forgive others. If our forgiveness should be in direct proportion to the incredible amount that we have been forgiven, then we must always be willing to forgive. NKJ Bible.

Matthew 18:32–35 (NKJV)

³² Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. ³³ Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?’ ³⁴ And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him.

³⁵ “So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

Luke 7:42 (NKJV)

⁴² And when they had nothing with which to repay, he freely forgave them both. Tell Me, therefore, which of them will love him more?”
