“And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” ~Matthew 6.12
One of the great misunderstandings about “The Lord’s Prayer” is that it’s not His prayer at all.
It is a prophetic teaching (at that time) to His Disciples (those who follow Him) on how they are to pray and the position of their hearts when praying. Christ’s instructions are still in effect today (the same yesterday, today, and forever), although these instructions were prophetic when Christ taught initially taught them.
“AS”: One of the Biggest Little Words in Scripture
So, you need to understand beyond the shadow of a doubt that you cannot be forgiven (by Christ’s definition) if you do not first forgive.
If you are burdened with unforgiveness, you need to cast every single one of those cares so that you can receive the forgiveness of God.
Christ has provided forgiveness for ALL humans, but you have to follow his rules in order for it to take effect in your life. No excuses, equivocations, or rationalizations allowed. #Selah
