I bet if you talked to the average sane person on the street
corner and you asked them if they would either like to or think that
they are going to heaven, they would say yes. I think that if you went a
little further and asked why they think they know this, some would even
go as far as to say because Jesus forgave them for their sins and
accepted them into His Kingdom, therefore they are going to Heaven
inevitably.
Assuming that there is no real relationship between
that person and Christ, the world at least knows that the reason that
we justify our "entrance" into heaven is because we have been forgiven
from our sins by the Love and acceptance and relationship with Jesus
Christ in our lives.
So if we, and the world, expect to be
forgiven by Jesus from our sins, that we continue to commit daily might I
add, then why can we not forgive others when they do wrong against us
or other people? Jesus gave His earthly life so that we may be forgiven,
and yet we still stab His back when we sin against Him. Yet someone
says one harsh word to us, once, and there is absolutely no forgiveness
in our hearts? Something is wrong with that picture. My challenge to
you: take a second, and forgive.
