Let us determine by God’s grace to
forgive, even as we hope to be forgiven. This is the nearest approach we
can make to the mind of Christ Jesus. This is the character which is
most suitable to a poor sinful child of Adam. God’s free forgiveness of
sins is our highest privilege in this world. God’s free forgiveness will
be our only title to eternal life in the world to come. Then let us be
forgiving during the few years that we are here upon earth.
