The command to forgive is not a transaction.
Jesus isn't saying your forgiveness of someone else purchases God's forgiveness of you. Grace doesn't work that way.
A person who has genuinely received grace will not be comfortable harboring an unforgiving spirit. The two are incompatible.
Not because forgiving earns anything. Because refusing to forgive reveals that grace hasn't fully taken root yet.
Forgiveness is God's domain. Episode 55 — The Marc Little Show.
