July 18, 2023 Day 199. Why should you forgive others?
Today is day 199 and we are on the section on second part of the The Fifth Petition: "As we forgive those who trespass against us".
199. Why should you forgive others?
I should forgive others because, while I was still a sinner, God forgave
me through Jesus Christ. Failing to forgive impedes God’s work in
my life and gives opportunity to the evil one. (Genesis 50:15–21; Psalm
133; Matthew 18:21–35; Luke 23:34; Ephesians 4:30–32; Colossians 3:12–13)
We will conclude today with The Lord's Prayer.
