Most folks realize from The Lord’s prayer
that
IF
we want to BE FORGIVEN,
we MUST FORGIVE ALL.
Well then, I guess no one can be saved before they've forgiven everyone, even God.
That's got to be interesting to observe - to watch someone do something they aren't capable of yet because they don't have the ability to do so.
Here, old covenant Scripture for old covenant thinking.
Psalm 103:10-14 10 He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. 11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13 As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. 14 For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
