“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.“
Matthew 6:12
Matthew 6:12
Prayer must be in the spirit of forgiveness because it is fundamental for
reconciliation with God and one another. It’s all about relationships. Sin is
like a debt that is owed to God and as a result of our hearts conviction we
suffer the loss of fellowship with Him until we seek the mercy and forgiveness
only He can give. We confess our sins to God, admit our need to be forgiven
and seek a heart like Jesus Christ so we can walk in love and forgiveness
towards everyone.
Christians so easily get offended, accumulate hurts, hold resentments and
grudges that end up defining our relationships with one another. To forgive
literally means “release,” so that past wrongs don’t define our relationships
in the future. A spiritually mature person is willing to forgive, just as the
Lord continually forgives.
