The Pardon of Prayer (3 of 3)
Series: The Lord's Prayer
Dr David Davis
Matthew 6:12, 14-15


Matthew 6:12,14-15 - "And forgive us our debts, as we for­give our debtors. (14) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: (15) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

Forgiveness is man's deepest need now and, in the future, - for health and for heaven.

The first three petitions relate to God:

Micah 7:18-19 - "Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. (19) He will turn again, he will have compassion ...
