Q

If I don’t completely forgive, will I go to hell?

AThe Bible says in Mark 11:25 ( niv ), “ And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins .”

That is the key to having your prayers answered.

One time, I began to think of the person who made mistakes against me. And I sensed the Lord say, “You’re holding something against him. You better start forgiving him.”

Matthew 5:23-24 tells us, “ Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift .”

You must forgive in your heart. When you stand praying, you must have a forgiving spirit.

If you hold grudges against somebody, you will not have your prayers answered. It doesn’t say you won’t go to heaven.
