Forgiveness | capstone1347

Matthew 6:14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 18:21-22
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Mark 11:25-26

25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Romans 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee. Bind them about the neck. Write them upon the table of thine heart (Proverbs 3: 3). Memorize them, in other words. So, thou shall find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man (Proverbs 3: 3 & 4). Listen to this: He who forgives ends the quarrel. He who forgives ends the quarrel—as far as the quarrel is ended (African proverb). That is great wisdom and they are favored by God. You said, “Why [Where] did that happen in the bible?” Oh, thousands of places! Isaac, he was a man of peace. He would not argue, a man of peace. They came up there to Isaac and took a well that he had already paid for and dug. They argued over that well. Instead of fighting over that well, he just went and dug another one. God favored him. He had understanding, Now, if you ran into Jacob, see; he might give you that well, but he would figure out a way to get two more from you if he had to block the water and make it look dry, run you off and then get the well. You see, different age, different people operating there. But not Isaac. That was when Jacob was so young, but he became a prince with God. God changed Jacob, see? And we find out in Proverbs and all over [the bible]; Solomon brought it that way that no good comes out of a quarrel. No good at all would ever become [come out] of a quarrel. I think hell is interwoven in quarrel right now. One of the greatest torments is to go down there arguing all the time. Can you say praise the Lord? It [quarrel] is one of man’s closest friends, but it is not his best friend saith the Lord. It will stay right with that flesh. Hardly is there anyone here that can’t get out sometimes and run into one [quarrel], but if you use your divine wisdom and knowledge, you escape out of it and get away from it. How many of you say praise the Lord?

If God were not willing to forgive sins, heaven would be empty [a German proverb]. How many of you believe that? See; no one would be able to enter unless Jesus came. No one; I mean no one. They would be shut out with satan. They would be shut out for ever. No one would be able to enter. Jesus loves and saves.

1967 Letter | Neal Frisby

Don't you ever let Satan tell you that you're not good enough to help , or because of some failure in the past, God will lead you . Let me show you the grace of God that He helped in past failures. Thomas (doubted). Peter (backslid), Abraham Tlied Gen.12:13 and 18). Jonah (disobeyed ). Moses (rebelled),-Elijah gave up for a "moment" ! but returned with enough of fire(spirit ) to be caught up to heaven! But in all this they got up and became great“helpers of God
