Matthew 18:34-35 “And his master was angry, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. (35) "So, My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.” The second negative consequence of unforgiveness is that it opens the door for torment in the believer’s life. Our Lord Jesus revealed that truth to us in the above quoted passage of scripture. Another translation of the word

Matthew 18:32-33 “Then his master, after he had called him, said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. (33) Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, just as I had pity on you?'” As revealed by the Lord Jesus in the above quoted parable, there can be no doubt that heaven does not view unforgiveness favourably. So now that we have looked at how forgiveness operates, we can more clearly understand how believer

Matthew 6:12-15 “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. … (14) "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. (15) But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Mark 11:25-26 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. (26) But if you do not forgive, neither will

Hebrews 8:12 “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.” Forgiveness goes hand in hand with forgetting. One cannot forgive from the heart, but refuse to forget the offence suffered. When God forgives us our sins, He chooses to no longer remember them as an act of His will, for notice in the above quoted passage of scripture that God the Father says “I will” remember their sins no more. Philippians 4:8

John 20:22-23 “And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. (23) If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” Nevertheless, scripture does teach us that there are times when we do not forgive brethren, and we hold the person accountable for their sin. In the above quoted passage of scripture we see that our Lord Jesus gave authority to His church to withhold forgiv

1 Corinthians 6:4-8 “If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge? (5) I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you, not even one, who will be able to judge between his brethren? (6) But brother goes to law against brother, and that before unbelievers! (7) Now therefore, it is already an utter failure for you that you go to law against one another. W

Colossians 2:13-14 “And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, (14) having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” Before we can walk in forgiveness toward others, we need to be fully assured in our own hearts of the absolute forgiveness that we have r

1 Corinthians 6:13-19 “Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. (14) And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. (15) Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! (16) Or do you not know that he who is joined to

Romans 6:3-4 “Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? (4) Therefore, we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Although all children that die go to heaven to be with the Lord, they are not part of the body of Christ. Only those that have been baptised into Christ are part of the

2 Samuel 12:19-23 “When David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child was dead. Therefore, David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" And they said, "He is dead." (20) So, David arose from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of the Lord and worshiped. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate. (21) Then his servants said to him, "Wh

Revelation 20:13 “The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.” We have seen thus far that because everyone dies spiritually at the age of thirteen, they therefore need to be born-again in order to enter into the kingdom of heaven. So what about children who die physically before they reach the age of thirteen? As we will see in this section, because they are alr

Romans 9:11 “for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls.” We have seen in previous sections that although we are all born spiritually alive to God, there comes a time in each of our lives when God holds us accountable for our sin, and it is on that day that our spirits die, for we were born under the law and not under grace. And so the obvious question t
