Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 11, 2023

- Do we live with the knowledge that God knows what He’s doing? From creation to this moment, God has been preparing us for redemption because what is to come is God’s wrath for our disobedience, because His holiness demands it. However, His grace provides a way through (or out of) it.

How To Be A Christian Citizen Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

God has drawn a moral standard, a line. “That’s my boundary. That’s my spiritual fault line. You better move your life to get in line with it.” And too many Americans are saying, “No, I want to move God’s line and change God’s standard to fit my life.”

Jesus puts forward challenging words in the second half of v. 12 - calling us to ask for forgiveness in the same way we have forgiven others. Verses 14-15 emphasize the expectation from God that we will forgive others as part of having been forgiven by Him. What happens when we live this out?
