Forgive and FORGIVEN An AWESOME revelation of the divine Charity and Compassion that we RECEIVED at our Salvation! The Lord Jesus SAVED us and FORGAVE us when: We were yet vile sinners We rejected and scolded Him We chose Barabbas instead of His divine Charity We spat in His face and drove the nails into His blooded body on the cross. Still Jesus said “Father, FORGIVE them; for they know not what they do!” And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: 21 But they cried, saying, CRUCIFY him, crucify him. 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found NO cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. Luke 23:18-22 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they CRUCIFIED him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. 34 Then said Jesus, Father, FORGIVE them; for they know not what they DO. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, TODAY shalt thou be WITH me in paradise. 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, FATHER, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. Luke 23:3346 We were ALL that wicked sinner hanging on the cross next to Jesus whom received His divine GRACE and MERCY at Salvation (We ALL DESERVED death and hell for our wicked sins and iniquities!) Now that we are TRULY saved, we have been GIVEN Christ’s ability to FORGIVE and to EXTEND grace to my erring wife, naughty children, unsaved family, wicked neighbours and also my enemies! 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! Matthew 18:21-22 If I (we) say: I (we) cannot forgive or I am not willing to forgive or I am to hurt to forgive Then it mean that I (we) have LOST our Salvation and have become an unwise virgin going to HELL! For if you 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! (Thus you will go to HELL) Matthew 6:14-15 Create in me a CLEAN heart, O God; and RENEW a right spirit within me. Cast me NOT away from thy presence; and take NOT thy HOLY SPIRIT from me. RESTORE unto me the JOY of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be CONVERTED unto thee. O Lord, ope5n thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy PRAISE. For thou desirest NOT sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest NOT in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a BROKEN spirit: a broken and a CONTRITE HEART, O God, thou wilt not despise. Amen Psalm 51:10-17 The Lord Jesus SAVED us and FORGAVE us when:
