“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, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
~
Jesus, his comment following his teaching disciples how to pray; Matthew
6:14-15 we said ...
“If
God forgives us we must forgive ourselves also. It is not for us to say we
can’t. God is the judge, not we. If He forgives, we dare not deny God’s power.”
~
Reinhard Bonnke
“To
be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the
inexcusable in you. … Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they
have something to forgive.”
~
C.S. Lewis
“Unforgiveness
is spiritual filthiness, so get washed in the water of God's Word to forgive
and stay clean.”
~
Joyce Meyer
To
be a follower of Christ is to live by Jesus’ words and example. Jesus’ life is an outpouring of mercy, grace,
compassion, and forgiveness – to live like him is summed up by being forgiving
of self and others; to live any other way is to deny Christ.

Life
with anger, hate, vengeance, spite, and an unforgiving heart is easy - turmoil
and sleeplessness does not require effort.
Christlikeness can be hard, it requires a bending of the will to live
and have a transformed mind that thinks like Jesus. Living in obedience to Christ's command to
love brings peace and a good night's sleep. ... Owen
