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.
