Remember when Y'shua said that if we do not forgive each other, we will not be forgiven?

Isn't the requirement for us to be forgiven that we believe in and confess Y'shua? How can we be forgiven by forgiving each other?

Yes, well, the reason we are to forgive each other is because Y'shua shed His blood for us and has forgiven each and every one of us.

Our forgiveness of each other is an actual demonstration of our faith in the blood of Y'shua for the forgiveness of sins of others because He died for each of us and forgave us. We cannot condemn someone that Y'shua has died for and has forgiven.

There is a lot of bitterness and ill will among people. That bitterness and ill will is a demonstration that these people do not believe in Y'shua. Simply spoken, they do not believe in the power of the blood of Y'shua to forgive all sin. They still believe there is sin that is still not forgiven.

This kind of thing is very prevalent among people that believe in various forms of "black magic" or "voodoo". That is why their "god" is an evil god and supposedly does evil things to people. Their bitterness and ill will gives them away that they are not of God.

So forgiving each other, requires that we believe and accept the forgiveness of Y'shua for ourselves and for others.

We can't even understand what forgiveness is without Y'shua.

Not forgiving someone, means there is no faith in Y'shua.

Shalom is through forgiving each other!

We also cannot know what forgiveness is without Y'shua.

God's word is so profound!

You know I experienced this very thing the other day.  I am living in a dorm situation....several, many, many women all under one roof at one time.  The other day, we were all watching the football game, one of the girls was a fan.  She was purturbed by me, and was unkind.  I didn't do anything, just took into account that she was young (just 21) and that she was hot headed, because of it.

Anyway latter in the day when the game was over, she went to the phone in the hallway and was in a near miss.  She narrowly escaped being hit by a falling light fixture as she was moving around in the hallway talking on the phone with her dad.

I cannot tell you that evil things happen to people who are unkind to the believer...because the truth of the matter is that the fixture was old, and it was just it's time to fall..the timing WAS in His hands and He did spare the girl...but the looks I got..you know?  The looks...superstition, and the desire to experience 'magic' or 'powers' or the whole 'witchcraft' from on T.V. that is so common has made it very, very easy for the evil one to sway the weak and convice the simple that common happenings are for signs...

In the Word, it is miracles that are for signs...you know?

we can be so easily led astray.

The God of Wonders be with you...and His miracles are for signs...remember Him in everything.

bye for now,

Right SMTP, because  Y'shua  forgave all our unforgiveness, and is judge.
No way to the Father except through Y'shua. Father's unconditional love of Y'shua.
