So to be a Christian, you have got to be able to forgive because people around you are going to make mistakes all the time, even you will fall but you may be the lucky one because you have Jesus to catch you. The Bible says...
"If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.''
Matthew 6:14-15
This verse is pretty easy to comprehen but it means if you forgive the people around you who make mistakes, then God will forgive you, but if you don't, then God won't forgive you. Pretty simple, right? Sure you may say "But what about my brother/sister! They drive me nuts all the time!''
"The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him."
Daniel 9:9
Why can't we try to be Christ like? Isn't that what we are supposed to do as Christians? The next time you and your sister or brother are fighting, just forgive your sister for taking your ipod or forgive your brother for using your new cool skateboard, you set an example for them and who knows, maybe next time they'll beat you to the punch! (for forgiving)
