Few things are more precious to receive than forgiveness. After carrying the burden of our sin, it is wonderfully freeing to know that the one we have wronged has completely forgiven us. Jesus told His disciples to ask God for forgiveness every time they prayed. Jesus knew that we would daily incur debts against God, as we inevitably fall short of God‘s standard. A day does not go by that we do not need to ask God to remove our debt against Him. Jesus warned that we should expect forgiveness from God as we forgive those who sin against us, for God will forgive us in the same way we forgive others. Ask God to make you like Christ so that, even when you are being persecuted, you can pray, “Father, forgive them.”
