The Catechized Life: The Heart of the Lord's Prayer and the Christian Life

We move into the 5th Petition of the Lord's Prayer and learn how Christ teaches us in this petition that our one great need is the forgiveness of sins. Consider also what distinction should be made between the prayer for the forgiveness of sins and the reception of the forgiveness of sins (as with the Sacraments). Does this petition mean that God forgives conditionally? Should we forgive everyone, always? Learn how Christians should live according to the petition. Rev. Mark Bestul, Pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Elgin, IL joins host Rev. Sean Smith to discuss the 5th Petition of the Lord's Prayer.
