"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins"- Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV).
Christians should be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving, just as God forgave us (Ephesians 4:32). That old Deceiver, the devil, loves conflict between believers. Let's not give him the satisfaction. Instead, consider inspiring each other to love and to do good works (Hebrews 10:24). The church needs unity; to be one, just as the Godhead is one: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The perfect unity, between each other and with the Lord, helps the world believe that Jesus was sent to save the world and to proclaim that God loves us, just as He loved His only begotten Son (John 17:21-23). This perfect unity is only possible because of the One who gave Himself in our place; He saved us from this world and our sins. We are forgiven. This is glorious tidings and all according to the will of our Heavenly Father (Galatians 1:4).
