Kingdom Living - The Commands of ChristНамуна

Commands of Christ: 32
Forgive and you will be forgiven.
Jesus knew a thing or two about motivation. I believe He was pretty serious about us paying attention to this command. I am likely to pay attention if a command is directly linked to how I will be treated, especially if it involves my eternal destiny. This is pretty clear. Jesus was not saying we earn our salvation by forgiving others. He was saying that our attitude toward others is an evidence of the attitude that is required to receive forgiveness: humility. If we truly recognize our unworthiness before Him then when we receive His mercy and grace, we will be grateful. We will also recognize that others deserve mercy and grace just as much as we did, and seek to see that they get it.
Scripture
About this Plan

Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
