From Lead Serve Love by Gregory Lang
Forgive all wrongs.
You cannot be forgiven without also being one who can forgive. To obtain our forgiveness, our Lord makes it a condition that we have a merciful spirit as well. You are to forgive others for their wrongs in the same way that God forgives yours; mercy must not be refused if someone comes to you in the spirit of sincere repentance. Forgive all wrongs.
Yes, if you forgive others for their sins, your Father in heaven will also forgive you for your sins. But if you don’t forgive others, your Father in heaven will not forgive your sins. – Matthew 6:14-15
