We Need To Forgive As Christ Forgave Us

Christians Need to Forgive As Christ Forgave Us!

If you can’t forgive your brother.  
What good is your Christianity?
Without “love in action…” 
 All is meaningless and vanity!

If, for your brother, you’re unwilling
 to “go the extra mile…”
What good is it to go to church and 
“wear a smile?”

Whether you know lost of scripture. 
 Or can sing 100 gospel songs…
It doesn’t mean anything…  If you keep a record
 of  your brother’s wrongs.

When you stand before God on the
 great judgment day.
What will your answer be? 
 What will you say?

Are you going to live by the
 gospel that Jesus taught?
Will you love and forgive
 others as you ought?

Christ died and gave his all for
 people like me and you…
With the sacrifice he’s given… 
 What are you going to do?

Loving and forgiving those who’ve
 wronged us, is a difficult task.
Obeying God’s commands… 
 Is this too much to ask?

A life of true victory and freedom
 is your decision.
It starts with looking at others
 with God’s “20/20 vision…”
