Matthew 6:14-15 (The Message)

Luke 6:37 (The Message)

Colossians 3:13 (The Message)

3:13 Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you.

C. Your FATHER will also forgive your own shortcomings to Him.

"in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop."

Ephesians 4:32 (The Message)

4:32 Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.

James 2:13 (The Message)

2:13 For if you refuse to act kindly, you can hardly expect to be treated kindly. Kind mercy wins over harsh judgment every time.

Matthew 18:34-35 (The Message)

18:34 The king was furious and put the screws to the man until he paid back his entire debt.

18:35 And that's exactly what my Father in heaven is going to do to each one of you who doesn't forgive unconditionally anyone who asks for mercy."
