That mean...Jesus spoke that parable before he died. That means He lived under Old Testament Law. And,under the Old Testament, is was incumbent that the transgressor forgive those that had wronged him, in order to be forgiven. In the New Testament, the tables have turned. God deals with mankind as a loving Father, full of grace & mercy. In fact Paul now says in Ephesians 4:32 " Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you " and in Colossians 3:13 " Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you "<br /><br />So the whole idea here is that God forgave you ( past, present, and future sins ) so why wouldn't you forgive others ? The difference here is important. You forgive others and can ONLY forgive others because now you HAVE BEEN forgiven. And without God forgiving you first you CANNOT forgive others anyways in your own strength because every time you would fail. Please note God does not re-condemn you and rip away your salvation if you fail to forgive because the Bible simply does not say that. When you are saved by Jesus Christ it is a done deal and your salvation is secured for eternity. You are his sons & daughters. However, not forgiving someone after being forgiven yourself is just plain stupidity and shows tremendous immaturity as a believer.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11555238639333665216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671698633085188281.post-61474674234781431892015-12-12T17:40:22.511-06:002015-12-12T17:40:22.511-06:00Amazing!
