Please pray for my children who were given into the custody of their abuser by a corrupt court. Pray that the truth come out and they come home safely soon in Jesus's name.
i completely relate to your shocking situation, even tho mine is very different, as it's also just as twistedly dismaying and painful beyond any words, 💔🙏i pray you stay strong NO MATTER WHAT and allow God to do His work, as i am sure that He WILL, but by HIS clock, and by your prayers.💔🙏
I prayed to be able to forgive my family for the molestation and cover up. My brother confronted the people who did these things, the day I said this prayer. My brother didn't know of this prayer. This was the Lord. They denied it. My uncle hit my brother in the eye and my aunt called the police on my brother. They are without repentance. They deny or downplay. Had they repented they would have been blessed. It is because of them the majority of my family views me as a criminal because I turned to drugs. It took me choosing to move 1200 miles away to live on the street, on drugs for me to find the Lord. I am delivered by his grace and mercy and love. These people have refused to repent, so I rebuke them and all the wicked deeds they stand for.
Thank You Michael Pearl. And To The Women Asking The Question: The Family May Reject You, Remain Strong In God's Love, As I Have - In Knowing - "If I Lose Everyone, AND I Have The LORD, Then I HAVE EVERYTHING"
I was that new person sitting in the 2nd row in the back ! So great the see Michael in person and being at the door the painting was amazing too people were so nice and it was a great experience!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! THANK GOD FOR LEADING ME TO THIS CHANNEL!! You have just freed me from a lifetime of trying to twist my soul into forgiveness of those who a) have never repented of their wrongs against me (and my children and grandchildren!) and b) continue in their hateful, abusive, heinous treatment of me and mine. I'm speaking in part, of a parent, and I hope the same holds true in this case...keeping in mind that I am in the full knowledge of the commandment to honor parents, and will do so, within this, a new understanding of my relationship with her. God bless you, Pastor Pearl!! I may actually find the healing I've prayed so long for.
If what she wrote is true then that monster needs to be stopped. Not saying anything is allowing him to ruin other children’s lives. I have no remorse for someone who hurts children. I would love to hear that he gets saved and changes, but he needs to be stopped. Doing that to a child literally ruins their whole life. They have to carry that with them.
I met a young lady , this was long distance she lived in another state , she had a lot of mental, emotional problems. For what she told me I believe she was being tormented by many , she told me she was molested at an early age by her step-dad and her mother and others in the family kept it quite [ she was vocal about it ] and no one wanted to believe her. [ she was hurting from this ] she was 38 years old and ended up taking her own life...… In the name of Lord Jesus Christ I still pray for you my friend.....
The mother was probably molested by him too when they were growing up...the father of lies love’s for the victim to carry the shame instead of the criminal...he belongs in jail
So many hurting souls needed to hear and know this. So thankful that you are a man who doesn't shy away from speaking the truth about sensitive matters. Not like most churches that just say forgive and let the molesters go free to continue molesting. They all ignore and despise the true victims. So much for binding up the wounds of the broken hearted.
This has really helped me. Someone hurt me and two of my family members and I am still very angry. This person has done nothing to make it right. I was blaming myself for being unforgiving. But now I understand that I have a God given right to feel like I do
My heart and prayers go out to the writer. Is it NOT a sin to allow this behavior to continue with the younger, helpless generation? I agree with Brother Pearl. Stop it in it's tracks! GB
I called my abuser (over 40 years later), I ask him to forgive me for my hatred toward him, and I said I hoped that he could find Jesus to be as real as I had. I pray for him and another abuser every day possible. I owned 100% of my wrong spirit, and I told the man that I no longer wanted to kill him. I now am free from the guilt of hatred and the desire for vengeance. Praise Jesus, God's word is true.
Why are you victim blaming. You need help. A victim shouldn’t ask forgiveness from their abuser. Sure hating and all that stuff isn’t right, but it justifiable. You are saying I have no right to hate him because what he has done was good when it wasn’t.
So many theologians, pastors, preachers, ministers have failed to explain this topic. Thank you Mr. Pearl. There is a reason repentance and forgiveness is mentioned many times in New Testament.
Thank you for making this more clear. I have been molested by several people and thought I had to forgive them when repentance had never occurred. I have tried to let it go and find peace.
You can still forgive somebody for what evil they did to you, even if they died and went to hell. It's never too late to forgive someone who did you wrong.
In that situation u must let the truth surface..u can't bury it...in order to prevent others from being preyed upon u must reveal what has happened...the truth will always surface....and we walk in the truth and defend the truth.....a very good teaching..
Michael once again i totally agree with your every comment. I think the reason that I agree with you so often is that you siply believe and preach the Bible.I truly enjoy your youtube s
Eternally Thankful Michael for your great work being accessible to a man like me,I'm eternally grateful to God for your life also,God bless you and your family 👪 🙏🏻 May The incomprehensible peace of The Lord overshadow you in all you do 🙏🏻🙂
I've been trying to put to words the subject of forgiveness and how I believe the church is teaching it incorrectly for so long now...THANK YOU for sharing this! Exactly what I've been trying to say.
Sadly, this is all too common. I experienced it personally and it can be a life altering sometimes crippling offense to endure. But I do forgive and hope that he is saved through repentance. 🙏✝️
I really appreciate this one since my dad did that to me when I was 8 years old. I really hope the lady turned her uncle in as my dad got away with it and I regret not doing so.
Has anyone done the math? If you're awake for 24 hours, that's 1,440 minutes. Considerably more than a waking hour. Divide that by 490 & you get a trespass ab every 3 ½ mins. That's during a 24 hour period. Imagine someone talking crap every 3 ½ mins, you confronting them & them repenting. He's absolutely correct in saying he'd be skeptical of their sincerity, at that point. I would, too. However if it's a genuine repentance, we are to forgive. That's crazy.. how long can you go without sinning against God in a 24 hour period?! I'd be hard pressed in claiming a minute straight, if I'm honest..
Another very thought provoking teaching brother, thank you for uploading. I truly have never thought about this matter in this way. Thank God for revelation.
Thank you Michael for explaining these issues based on the Word of God I'm a new subscriber and an old christian. l like your way of shedding light on such matters using scripture from the KJ Bible , may God continue to richly bless you and your family and viewers and listeners! Your friend Kevin from across the pond in France
Thank you for this wonderful teaching... I was thinking about forgivenesson earlier today and now you uploaded this tonight.. Glory to God and his perfect timming...
I'm glad you did this video. You do not know how many people are out there in the world like this and you have to wonder how they feel about everything. Thank you so much!!!
If the perpetrator comes and tells you he or she have found God and admit their trespass against you and ask you for forgiveness,then you should forgive, but that does not mean you should associate with them.
That’s pretty sad,,, if me or one of my siblings did something like that the entire family would know within 24hours. My parents would never hide something like that.... maybe that’s why our family would never do horrible things when we were young. Once you find God you just know better. Never hide your kids actions it will only hurt them in the long run.
Forgive them because Jesus has forgotten our sins n yes tell your husband! I’m a 40 year old male that was rapped by my dad and a person that went to our church ⛪️ I forgave both n you’ll fell much better once you have forgave them! It fells like a ton of bricks 🧱 took off your shoulders! Read 1 John n pray about it not going to be easy but Philippians 4;13 I believe is the scripture I can do all things through Christ who strengths me!!
I believe Luke 17:3 illustrates this best. Key word is ( IF ). If there's No repentance by the person, we are not commanded to forgive the individual, matter of fact, it would be a sin to as this would be contrary to what Yahshua says and YHWH' WILL as we are not greater then He...
This is a great answer. I can't understand the mind of people who were abused, but in the first case , not talking even spiritually but morally, then legally, he should go to serve his punishment.
Only by forgiveness can one move forward. He who had no sin forgave us. Likewise we must forgive others. True forgiveness sets one free. Forgive the person but not the sin.
I love this guy. I have believe this for years. Forgiveness is conditional, it requires repentance. If a child molester showed genuine sorrow and a requite heart I would forgive them too but I think that is impossible, that is a line you cross that no one comes back from. God does not love everyone and to say that is disgusting, that means God loves child rapists and mass murderers. What kind of a monster would love people that do those things.
If both of those types repent and are truly asking God for forgiveness, they certainly can be forgiven. Is it likely for those types of individuals to repent? Most likely not, but it can happen.
So few Pastors on You Tube : whom possess the Courage - to tell it Straight from the Bible " without fear of being unpopular!?!... that's what Jesus Christ ( expect) from his Saint!!.. be Fervent , Forthright and Resolute - in our convictions.
If he is sincere and turns from his ways. But you may never really know, so release the anger and bitterness and Know that vengiense is mine says the Lord..
God's Wrath and judgment she'll come on all of us God sees all and God knows all you can't hide nothing there's a place in hell that lies on its belly the jaw arm and the rest of the evil and sabotage parts
Can you, in your heart and say to the lord that you forgive the molester, no matter who they are and have nothing to do with them again? Is that also forgiveness?
For 22 years I always thought God hated me. Then for 28 years I only thought God loves me. But then my life was RADICALLY changed just 4 years ago (8/10/17), I was planning to kill myself on my 50th birthday, bec I used to be a Homeless, Suicidal, Drug Addicted, Murdering, Gay, Prostitute, with Multiple Personalities, because I was Kidnapped for Sex Trafficking. My mother had threatened to kill me, so I was a runway teenager; my family never report me missing, but when I finally came home I had to Abort my precious little baby girl. Veronica Lynn was 12 weeks old. For 48 years I was in the Church trying to "DO" everything that the Church had to offer, but I was being a Total Hypocrite in private, "WILLFULLY" Sinning / Acting Out every single day. I never experienced any lasting freedom through 12 Step Groups, Counselors, the Churches that I was in I'd say the "The Sinner's Prayer" every week. Trying to depend on 5-15 feel-good verses every Sunday was never going to redeem my soul, but then I learned: IT ONLY TAKES 1 DAY TO LISTEN TO NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE!!! In just "ONE DAY" I saturated my mind with God's Truth and He Completely set me Free. When I read 1ST JOHN 3:9-10 it Instantly Scared the Hell Right Out of me, and it gave me an amazing Fear, Reverence, and Awe for The Lord :0) That was exactly what I needed. So I finally, finally, finally surrendered my Entire life over to God. It says: 9. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they CANNOT go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10. This is how we KNOW who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are!! My Victim Mentality Immediately died that day, because I saw how close I was to Hell's door. I used to think that on Judgment Day, God would grade on a curve, bec I saw that there were so many people in the Church much worse than I was. Just look at the the statistics regarding pornography use in the majority of the Churches, even by many Pastors. I was so filled with Pride and always looking at others, trying to justify myself. Once I was finally willing to take The Narrow Road that leads to LIFE (Matt 7), I've been Completely Set Free for the last 4 years from ALL: anger, bitterness, depression, drugs, fear, insecurity, jealousy, loneliness, multiple personalities, porn, rejection, self harm, sexual thoughts/actions, shame, suicidal thoughts/attempts, stress, Unforgiveness, worry, etc... etc... Those had lead me into other shameful areas that all suddenly vanished. It breaks my heart to know that most people in the Church will be saying: Lord, Lord, didn't I do this, that & ... ... ...? If we hold on to even 1 sin and Refuse to put it to death, then it doesn't matter how many good things we do for God.. God is the only one who can free you. Trust Him. The Love, Joy and Peace that I get from reading my Bible everyday and knowing who Christ made me to be IN Him, has made me the happiest person on the planet. I have absolutely NO desire for the things of this world anymore. I removed every single uncleanly thing from before my eyes, because Jesus said if your Eye causes you to sin, Gouge it out. Now I can't even watch a TV commercial because my spirit is SO sensitive to their subtle perversions that lure people closer to the world through materialism, than to God. They appear to be completely harmless to most Christians. I now understand that before anyone can ever sin.. we always have at least 1-2-3 seconds to take every thought captive, and make it obedient to Christ, then we can always decide to Worship God with your choice. Anything else is Worshipping Satan through our flesh. I personally can not think of a single sin that is worth going to Hell forever. Once I realized that it was that simple, that has been able to keep me 90-95% obedient; but regarding the other 5-10%... the Holy Spirit will IMMEDIATELY convicts me, and I INSTANTLY repent and apologize within the minute for a word or a thought. I still struggle when I'm around Very ungodly, hateful people. Jesus tells us to love our enemies, because we know where they are going for all of eternity, so and act of kindness could be all they need to surrender their life. It keeps me humble when I have to apologize to someone for a momentary thought. If we are not willing to live solely for Jesus Christ Now, then God won't Make us live with him Forever. I have a list of 182 other verses just like 1st JOHN 3:9-10 from the N.T. where God warns us over and over again to be holy as He is holy by living in and through Christ.
Just like GOD we are to be imitators of GOD like beloved children...JESUS died to forgive the repentant...the forgiveness is there we have to take it by repentant life & follow JESUS & all. The forgiveness of GOD won't save the unrepentant so...as for us...our forgiveness is there but they have to repent and acknowledge the unethical and ungodliness etc bad of what they did or said or not do...and not continue as though what they do or did was justified,excusable,OK,correct or even right or logical etc. because they'll do it again as long as they can get away with it OR satan will change disguises because some offend intentionally because if not they get bored &/or they feel they lose power in the bond or in the negative difference/rivalry between the parts.
My brother's molested me for years one brother in particular I told my mom when I was 18 she never told my dad after my mom passed away My dad was clueless and wondering why I didn't really want anything to do with my brothers I told my dad my dad asked my brothers they said they didn't do it My dad told me I was a liar I didn't speak to my dad for two and a half years he passed away the family didn't tell me that my father passed away or should I say my earthly dad I have struggled with this for years I've always struggled with what happened but after being called a liar my heart really got very hard I'm not a liar it happened it happened for years it caused me all kinds of problems throughout my life
Please pray for my children who were given into the custody of their abuser by a corrupt court. Pray that the truth come out and they come home safely soon in Jesus's name.
I Will Pray For You And Your Children Milly.
Good grief. God put angels round all children involved.
Has the situation changed?
i completely relate to your shocking situation, even tho mine is very different, as it's also just as twistedly dismaying and painful beyond any words,
💔🙏i pray you stay strong NO MATTER WHAT and allow God to do His work, as i am sure that He WILL, but by HIS clock, and by your prayers.💔🙏
If you know Jesus, I beg of you to take a moment to pray. Please ask God to help my children and I in this situation.
I prayed to be able to forgive my family for the molestation and cover up. My brother confronted the people who did these things, the day I said this prayer. My brother didn't know of this prayer.

This is one of the most profound teachings on forgiveness I've heard. I've always believed forgiveness requires confession and repentance.

👉🏽That's good, 👉🏽but you should have reported him to the authorities, and then forgiven him.
Are you crazy? You have every right to hate your abuser. He was in the wrong. Not you. He should be asking you forgiveness.
Why are you victim blaming. You need help. A victim shouldn’t ask forgiveness from their abuser. Sure hating and all that stuff isn’t right, but it justifiable. You are saying I have no right to hate him because what he has done was good when it wasn’t.
@@Fairygirl-q6g Hatred leads to murder, you are very unwise to encourage hatred and unforgiveness when the victim has chosen peace of mind.
So many theologians, pastors, preachers, ministers have failed to explain this topic. Thank you Mr. Pearl. There is a reason repentance and forgiveness is mentioned many times in New Testament.
Thank you for making this more clear. I have been molested by several people and thought I had to forgive them when repentance had never occurred. I have tried to let it go and find peace.
Thankfully the evil of molestation isn’t an issue on my end. The principals of forgiveness are what I needed to hear.
You can still forgive somebody for what evil they did to you, even if they died and went to hell. It's never too late to forgive someone who did you wrong.
In that situation u must let the truth surface..u can't bury it...in order to prevent others from being preyed upon u must reveal what has happened...the truth will always surface....and we walk in the truth and defend the truth.....a very good teaching..
Thank you for speaking the Godly Truth. Prayers for anyone out there going through this. Praising God in a whole new light today!!!
Michael once again i totally agree with your every comment. I think the reason that I agree with you so often is that you siply believe and preach the Bible.I truly enjoy your youtube s
One of the wisest people ever
This man is a genius from God. And this is the definition of wisdom. Thank for this.
A perfect bible answer. God Bless. And in Jesus name may she be healed and strengthened.
To let someone get away with a crime is unjust to others. I don't mean not to forgive them.
We must not bury our heads in the sand in the face of evil. Thank-you for dispensing clarity of thought for people!
God will deal with him 100 percent we can't stop evil here on earth but God will have his vengance
God blesses all who persist after Him in the Holy Spirit & Truth!!!
Eternally Thankful Michael for your great work being accessible to a man like me,I'm eternally grateful to God for your life also,God bless you and your family 👪 🙏🏻 May The incomprehensible peace of The Lord overshadow you in all you do 🙏🏻🙂

Thanks for addressing this deeply disturbing subject with God's reaction to it.
It happens to boys too, don't forget about them.

Another very thought provoking teaching brother, thank you for uploading. I truly have never thought about this matter in this way. Thank God for revelation.

Thank you so much Pastor for those explanations as i am learning through your channel so much. Greetings from Germany 🌷
My opinion about vengeance and forgiveness changed completely once I received the Holy Spirit.
I'm glad you did this video. You do not know how many people are out there in the world like this and you have to wonder how they feel about everything. Thank you so much!!!
To forgive does not mean a you still have to affiliate with the person.
👉🏽Precisely!
If the perpetrator comes and tells you he or she have found God and admit their trespass against you and ask you for forgiveness,then you should forgive, but that does not mean you should associate with them.
Another great video brother! I pray for all who may be dealing with abuse like the lady with the question you answered.
That’s pretty sad,,, if me or one of my siblings did something like that the entire family would know within 24hours. My parents would never hide something like that.... maybe that’s why our family would never do horrible things when we were young. Once you find God you just know better. Never hide your kids actions it will only hurt them in the long run.
Ofcourse lord forgives! Repenting and turning from wicked ways! Lord makes all new! Thank you Micheal!
This the clearest explanation I’ve heard on who and when and how to forgive. I’m watching this with my kids and sharing the video with my family.
God forgives those who turned to Jesus and repent yes . Thank you for this
Forgive them because Jesus has forgotten our sins n yes tell your husband! I’m a 40 year old male that was rapped by my dad and a person that went to our church ⛪️ I forgave both n you’ll fell much better once you have forgave them! It fells like a ton of bricks 🧱 took off your shoulders! Read 1 John n pray about it not going to be easy but Philippians 4;13 I believe is the scripture I can do all things through Christ who strengths me!!
It’s like the the Lord tells us in scripture. His word is simple. Philosophy spoils it.
Thank you ...Mr . Micheal😊
This is extraordinary. Thank you for this!!!
I think her uncle may have did things to her mom. Just a thought
Thank you brother for this explanation !
Wow! A great word that really helped me, due to suffering from abuse and sexual abuse as a kid.
I believe Luke 17:3 illustrates this best. Key word is ( IF ). If there's No repentance by the person, we are not commanded to forgive the individual, matter of fact, it would be a sin to as this would be contrary to what Yahshua says and YHWH' WILL as we are not greater then He...
AMEN 🙏🙌
God bless you, your videos bring me so much peace and happiness that tears flood my eyes.
Great. Answer. Love listening to you speak Mike. God bless.
Thank you Heavenly Farther Bless you Lord Jesus Praise you Holy Ghost Hallelujah Amen 🙏. All day long Yahoo 😅
Personally I believe that she must tell everyone including the police to protect anyone else from being abused.
There is no statute of limitations on child abuse.
Great answer to a troubling question. Great ending comments as well.
This is a great answer. I can't understand the mind of people who were abused, but in the first case , not talking even spiritually but morally, then legally, he should go to serve his punishment.
Thank you Pastor Peral. Outstanding message.
Great job Rabbi!
This makes so much sense. Than you and God bless!
Thank you! I feel so much better now.
i c my self in the future when i hear this man i am just younger
Always enjoy listening to you .Mr. pearl thanks for the knowledge you share
Only by forgiveness can one move forward. He who had no sin forgave us. Likewise we must forgive others. True forgiveness sets one free. Forgive the person but not the sin.
Unconditional forgiveness is a secular teaching.
Have A Forgiven Heart... for they know not what they do.
So we don't forgive unless they are repentant?
Just food for thought that same pastor said to everyone I don,t know who I Love more God or my Wife.
Sure needed to hear this. I've lived it.
Break your promise
Excellent
I love this guy. I have believe this for years. Forgiveness is conditional, it requires repentance. If a child molester showed genuine sorrow and a requite heart I would forgive them too but I think that is impossible, that is a line you cross that no one comes back from. God does not love everyone and to say that is disgusting, that means God loves child rapists and mass murderers. What kind of a monster would love people that do those things.
If both of those types repent and are truly asking God for forgiveness, they certainly can be forgiven. Is it likely for those types of individuals to repent? Most likely not, but it can happen.
Thank u for this video message, I needed it right now.
Thanks for your answer it will help me!
Amen, Amen, Amen!
I think it is dangerous deciding who we want to forgive.I think we should forgive those who trespass against us.
So few Pastors on You Tube : whom possess the Courage - to tell it Straight from the Bible " without fear of being unpopular!?!... that's what Jesus Christ ( expect) from his Saint!!.. be Fervent , Forthright and Resolute - in our convictions.
So much knowledge! Great video as always.
Eyes tell no lies.
So the molester has to ask her to forgive him first, then she can tell him she forgives him. Is that right?
If he is sincere and turns from his ways. But you may never really know, so release the anger and bitterness and Know that vengiense is mine says the Lord..
GOOD Answer!
God's Wrath and judgment she'll come on all of us God sees all and God knows all you can't hide nothing there's a place in hell that lies on its belly the jaw arm and the rest of the evil and sabotage parts
Turn him in!!!!!
Thank -you Sir
Can you, in your heart and say to the lord that you forgive the molester, no matter who they are and have nothing to do with them again? Is that also forgiveness?
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Should be Let thy will be done in US as it is in heaven..amen
Thank you.

For 48 years I was in the Church trying to "DO" everything that the Church had to offer, but I was being a Total Hypocrite in private, "WILLFULLY" Sinning / Acting Out every single day. I never experienced any lasting freedom through 12 Step Groups, Counselors, the Churches that I was in I'd say the "The Sinner's Prayer" every week. Trying to depend on 5-15 feel-good verses every Sunday was never going to redeem my soul, but then I learned:
IT ONLY TAKES 1 DAY TO LISTEN TO NEW TESTAMENT BIBLE!!! In just "ONE DAY" I saturated my mind with God's Truth and He Completely set me Free. When I read 1ST JOHN 3:9-10 it Instantly Scared the Hell Right Out of me, and it gave me an amazing Fear, Reverence, and Awe for The Lord :0) That was exactly what I needed. So I finally, finally, finally surrendered my Entire life over to God. It says: 9. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they CANNOT go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10. This is how we KNOW who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are!!
My Victim Mentality Immediately died that day, because I saw how close I was to Hell's door. I used to think that on Judgment Day, God would grade on a curve, bec I saw that there were so many people in the Church much worse than I was. Just look at the the statistics regarding pornography use in the majority of the Churches, even by many Pastors. I was so filled with Pride and always looking at others, trying to justify myself. Once I was finally willing to take The Narrow Road that leads to LIFE (Matt 7), I've been Completely Set Free for the last 4 years from ALL: anger, bitterness, depression, drugs, fear, insecurity, jealousy, loneliness, multiple personalities, porn, rejection, self harm, sexual thoughts/actions, shame, suicidal thoughts/attempts, stress, Unforgiveness, worry, etc... etc... Those had lead me into other shameful areas that all suddenly vanished.
It breaks my heart to know that most people in the Church will be saying: Lord, Lord, didn't I do this, that & ... ... ...? If we hold on to even 1 sin and Refuse to put it to death, then it doesn't matter how many good things we do for God.. God is the only one who can free you. Trust Him. The Love, Joy and Peace that I get from reading my Bible everyday and knowing who Christ made me to be IN Him, has made me the happiest person on the planet. I have absolutely NO desire for the things of this world anymore. I removed every single uncleanly thing from before my eyes, because Jesus said if your Eye causes you to sin, Gouge it out. Now I can't even watch a TV commercial because my spirit is SO sensitive to their subtle perversions that lure people closer to the world through materialism, than to God. They appear to be completely harmless to most Christians. I now understand that before anyone can ever sin.. we always have at least 1-2-3 seconds to take every thought captive, and make it obedient to Christ, then we can always decide to Worship God with your choice. Anything else is Worshipping Satan through our flesh. I personally can not think of a single sin that is worth going to Hell forever. Once I realized that it was that simple, that has been able to keep me 90-95% obedient; but regarding the other 5-10%... the Holy Spirit will IMMEDIATELY convicts me, and I INSTANTLY repent and apologize within the minute for a word or a thought. I still struggle when I'm around Very ungodly, hateful people. Jesus tells us to love our enemies, because we know where they are going for all of eternity, so and act of kindness could be all they need to surrender their life. It keeps me humble when I have to apologize to someone for a momentary thought.
If we are not willing to live solely for Jesus Christ Now, then God won't Make us live with him Forever. I have a list of 182 other verses just like 1st JOHN 3:9-10 from the N.T. where God warns us over and over again to be holy as He is holy by living in and through Christ.
Just like GOD we are to be imitators of GOD like beloved children...JESUS died to forgive the repentant...the forgiveness is there we have to take it by repentant life & follow JESUS & all.
The forgiveness of GOD won't save the unrepentant so...as for us...our forgiveness is there but they have to repent and acknowledge the unethical and ungodliness etc bad of what they did or said or not do...and not continue as though what they do or did was justified,excusable,OK,correct or even right or logical etc. because they'll do it again as long as they can get away with it OR satan will change disguises because some offend intentionally because if not they get bored &/or they feel they lose power in the bond or in the negative difference/rivalry between the parts.
I love this guy
His problem here is misunderstanding the word “forgive”.
