3 Commandments Of JESUS!
You
Must Forgive!
JESUS told us not to Judge others
because we would be Judged with the same measure!
JESUS told us not to call people
names because that would put us in a place to be Judged!
JESUS told us to Forgive those who
sin against us or our Heavenly Father would not forgive us!
These Commandments of JESUS go
against our human nature, because we are sinners (Saved by Grace) but He told
us if we did not keep them we would not be His Disciples! The point is that we
cannot Live by Grace but by Obedience! We Live in Grace to Endure through
Obedience; JESUS told us we must Endure (Overcome)! (Matthew 10:22, 28:13; 1
John 1:13-14; Revelation 2:7, 11, 17, 26-29; 3:5, 12, 21-22; 21:7)
Let’s look at these Commandments
of JESUS:
You Must Forgive – Matthew 5:43-48
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall Love your neighbor (Leviticus
19:18) and hate your enemy’. (Deuteronomy 23:3-8; Psalm 139:19-22; 1 John 3:15)
But I say to you, Love your enemies (Romans 12:17-21; 1 John 3:18-23), Bless
those who curse you, do good to those who hate you and Pray for those who
spitefully use you and persecute you (Jeremiah 29:6-7; Acts 7:59-60). ” Wow!
Love your enemy? Is there a precedent for this? (Proverbs 24:17-18, 25:21-22)
“that you may be sons of your
Father in Heaven (John 1:12-13; Galatians 3:23-29); for He makes His sun
rise on the evil and on the good and sends rain on the just and on the unjust
(Proverbs 15:3; 2 Peter 3:8-9).”
“For if you Love those who Love
you, what reward have you? Do not even tax collectors do the same? And if you
greet your brethren (friends) only, what do you do more than others? Do not
even Gentiles do so? Therefore you shall be Perfect just as your Father in
Heaven is Perfect (Ephesians 5:1-2; Colossians 1:27-29; 1 Peter 1:13-21)!
You cannot Love your enemies if you do not Forgive:
Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you Forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father
Will also Forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither
Will your Father Forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 18:21-35 If you do not
forgive, not only will GOD not forgive you, but, “So My Heavenly Father also
will do to you if each of you, from his Heart, does not Forgive his Brother his
trespasses (sins)!”
Ephesians 4:25-32 – Keep The Ten
Commandments and Forgive!
Matthew 22:36-40 – Love GOD (Deuteronomy
6:5, 10:12-13, 30:6) and Love your neighbor! (Leviticus 19:18)
