Bedtime Bible Boys Matthew Chapter 6 Forgiven or Forgive To Be Forgiven

Jesus left modern-day Christians a difficult verse in Chapter 6:15 and 16 when he said, "Forgive others and be forgiven, but if you will not forgive others then God will not forgive you". In this episode we take and defend the position that Christ was not giving statutes on how to be forgiven and remain saved as a believer but that he was again setting a bar, or standard using the Law and God's perfection to show the people that they could not live up to His holy standard and that this would ultimately turn the zealous and earnest heart towards their need for God's mercy.
