Surrender: Forgiveness

In Matthew 6, Jesus says the sins we commit, as well as the sins committed against us, are debts. We all know what a financial debt is, but have you ever stopped to consider the implications of sin being treated as a debt? How should that informat our thoughts about what it means for forgive and be forgiven? We invite you to consider this thought-provoking perspective.

“This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
