When we read through the Bible on the subject of eternity, we will  see how serious it is. It is sad to see preachers and Christians treat  this subject with levity. The way the Lord spoke about it shows the  seriousness of the matter and we must take it to heart.

In the Lord’s instruction to believers in what’s known as the sermon  on the mount, He addressed some issues to which we must pay careful  attention. The Lord concluded that message by saying only those who heed  the instructions are wise and will stand the test of time(Matthew  7:24-25).

Today we will look at the subject of forgiveness and its impact on  our pilgrim’s progress. The truth is that people will offend us, and the  devil will even use others to intentionally try and pull us away from  the faith. We must learn to forgive at all times so that we will not  miss heaven.

One hard thing people find difficult to do is to forgive. Some people  have endured hurt in the past and it seems so difficult to go forward  in life because they are not able to forgive. Some have sworn to go to  their graves without forgiving those who offend them.

But here is what Jesus said, if someone offends you, find a way to  fix it. God will not even accept your offering. What that means is that  your tithe and offering are not acceptable to God. The pastor may accept  it and even bless you, but heaven says No! to that gift you have  brought.
