=== Forgive and Be Forgiven (03:02) ===

[00:00:00]  If we confess our sins, this is verse 9, 1 John 1, 9.
[00:00:07]  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[00:00:17]  My favorite word in the Bible is all.
[00:00:20]  And confession is the key to salvation.
[00:00:23]  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
[00:00:30]  So we confess our sins, and he's faithful and just to forgive us of all of our sins.
[00:00:37]  And you know what?
[00:00:38]  Oh my, this is the tough one.
[00:00:41]  This is key five in my new book that we've been working on for a while.
[00:00:47]  Must, you must forgive others.
[00:00:52]  Yes.
[00:00:53]  Oh.
[00:00:54]  Is that the hard one, Lori?
[00:00:56]  Yeah, it is hard.
[00:00:57]  I mean, you know.
[00:00:58]  Tammy Sue, you said yes.
[00:00:59]  Go ahead, Tammy Sue.
[00:01:00]  Yes, yes.
[00:01:02]  Yeah, we have to forgive because the Bible says if you don't forgive, you will not be forgiven.
[00:01:08]  He won't, the Father, God, we won't be forgiven if we don't forgive.
[00:01:13]  It's literally a commandment to forgive.
[00:01:15]  It's part of the Lord's prayer.
[00:01:16]  It is part of the Lord.
[00:01:17]  Forgive our trespasses as we forgive others who trespass against us.
[00:01:23]  This is why it's a key to your salvation.
[00:01:27]  It's a key to your salvation.
[00:01:28]  Forgive, for if you forgive men, their trespasses, their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
[00:01:41]  But if you forgive not men, their sins, their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses, your sins.
[00:01:53]  That's scary.
[00:01:56]  So just forgive everybody.
[00:01:58]  That's why he says don't judge.
[00:01:59]  He said, if you judge, what?
[00:02:02]  You'll be judged.
[00:02:02]  So just forgive us.
[00:02:04]  Does this mean that you have to forgive your spouse?
[00:02:06]  Yeah, yes.
[00:02:08]  I think it says somewhere, especially your spouse.
[00:02:11]  Oh, that's hysterical, John.
[00:02:14]  Oh, boy.
[00:02:15]  I hope you're not in trouble now when you go back.
[00:02:17]  Oh, okay.
[00:02:18]  Now, before God would let me out of prison, he told me step, there's a part two of this must you forgive others.
[00:02:27]  Did you know that?
[00:02:28]  It's a part one and a part two.
[00:02:30]  And here's part two, Matthew 18, 35.
[00:02:34]  So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you if you from your hearts, in other words, he's going to judge you, you're going to have serious problems.

=== Forgive from Your Heart (00:18) ===

[00:02:47]  He says, if you do not forgive from your heart everyone of his brother's trespasses, sins.
[00:02:59]  So you don't just forgive.
[00:03:01]  Oh, this was the hard one.
[00:03:04]  You have to forgive from your heart.
[00:03:06]  Yeah.
