When we ask God to forgive us our debts, “as'' we have forgiven those indebted to us, Jesus hopes to teach us the grace of forgiveness. His Spirit reminds us that the forgiveness we receive is tied to the forgiveness we offer. What we offer to others when we forgive them is a mere reflection on what we are able to receive when we ask forgiveness from God.
“and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” Mt.6.12 ESV Conversations Within ts 9/14/2023
