Who Do You Need To Forgive Today?

@karysma
(Romans 3:20-25) "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. {21} But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; {22} Even the righteousness of God which is[c=7700B2] [u]by faith[/u] of Jesus Christ[/c] unto all and upon all them [c=7700B2][u]that believe[/u][/c]: for there is no difference: {23} For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; {24} Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: {25} Whom[c=7700B2] God hath set forth to be a propitiation [u]through faith in his blood[/u][/c], to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"

Faith is trusting God.. Faith is trusting in the Atonement of the LORD Jesus.. The Atonement of the LORD Jesus does not cover those who have no Faith ( Trust ) in the Atoning Blood of Jesus.. And again with faith there is also Belief ( upon all them [c=7700B2][u]that believe[/u][/c] ) Believe what? Believe the teachings of the LORD Jesus Christ..

As for repentance::

Jesus said::

(Luke 13:3) "[c=BF0000]I tell you, Nay: [u]but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish[/u][/c]."

Now i believe Jesus was talking about them repenting to God or they would perish in the eternal lake of fire..

Again Jesus said about a person to person situation::

(Luke 17:3-4) "¶ [c=BF0000]Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and [u][big]if[/big] he repent[/u], forgive him.[/c] {4} [c=BF0000]And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, [u]and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent[/u]; thou shalt forgive him[/c]."

Notice how the one who trespasses against you must repent to you.. Jesus said forgive him [big]IF[/big] he repents..

@Adstar I see. For me not forgiving is a burden so I forgive weather they repent or not. They'll catch up whenever they decide they're ready to repent.

@karysma The burden for me is lifted when i give it over to The LORD... I psychologically turn the cheek to the offender and forgo any form of personal revenge when i place them in Gods hands..

Indeed in the long run i don't think they even need to personally ask me for forgiveness if they end up coming to believe Jesus and trust in His Atonement.. They will be forgiven all their transgressions even the ones they did to me.. And i will be only too happy to meet them in eternity and embrace them as my eternal bother or sister in Christ.. 🤗

@stratosranger I guess bottom line is as long as they're forgiven at the end of the day day it's all good 😂

@karysma …”[i]bottom[/i] line…” 😆

@RogueLoner You do it for your own sake. Trust me holding onto grudge only hurts you not the other person.
