Peace be with you.
Next lesson for today.
Today's lesson is to show the Fallacy, Untruthfulness, Fakeness, Lie and Deception of the teaching that the Blood of Jesus Christ at Calvary will forgive your past, present and future sins which you commit in whatever copious amounts of quantities.
Read these verses in Matthew C18:
21 Then Peter approaching asked him, “Lord, if my brother sins against me, how often must I forgive him? As many as seven times?” 22 [
s]Jesus answered, “
I say to you, not seven times but seventy-seven times.
Here Jesus is stating that God's Mercy or His Patience for forgiving your sins has limits.
Read these verses in Matthew C18:
23 That is why the kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. 24 [t]When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. 27 Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan.
32 His master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you your entire debt because you begged me to. 33 Should you not have had pity on your fellow servant, as I had pity on you?’ 34 Then in anger his master handed him over to the torturers until he should pay back the whole debt.[w]35 [x]So will my heavenly Father do to you, unless each of you forgives his brother from his heart.”
Here, in subsequent verses following verse 22, Jesus then elaborates on Himself. He is basically saying that by your sinful conduct or wickedness, you can turn your salvation into your damnation.
God bless you.
Christ's point is those who are forgiven must also show forgiveness to others, they won't do that unless they are transformed into the image of Christ by being born of God anew. So yes, the unforgiving servant was not saved since he did not act Christlike in forgiving the debt owed him of his brother from the heart. Christ warns us unless you forgive your brother from the heart, neither will God forgive you your sins, which is ultimately what happened to this wicked servant.
The heart of man is desperately wicked, unless a man is born from above, given the new heart, they will just carry on the same old evil life even if God forgave them their sins.
Even if Christ forgave a gross sinner their debt to Him, unless the heart is changed, the evil nature will and must manifest, be shown in their daily life. Out from the natural born earthly heart proceeds wickedness, even so as God tells us of the nature of man in Genesis 8.
God’s Covenant with Creation
20 Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.
This parable was given in response to Peter asking about how many times to forgive his brother of only maybe seven times, and Christ emphasized seventy times seven times we are to be forgiving each other, just as God in Christ forgave you all your sins.
Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his
heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his
heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaks.
Mark 7:21
For from within, out of the
heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Matthew 18:35
“So My heavenly Father also will do to you if each of you, from his
heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”
