Review 2 Corinthians 2:1–11; Matthew 6:14–15; Doctrine and Covenants 64:9–10. Then respond to the following questions:
·
What were the people of Corinth commanded to do “if any have caused grief”?
The people were commanded to forgive the person that might
have caused the grief and then also that they needed to go out and comfort that
person that was grieving from the things they had done wrong. As they comfort
the person they also need to show forth a great deal of love afterward, enough
so that they know it is true and heartfelt.
·
What blessings do we see if we forgive?
One
of the best blessings that come from this is getting rid of the grief out of
our system and anything else that might be holding us back from moving and
progressing forward. This also allows for Heavenly Father to forgive us of our
sins. We have forgiven and are acceptable to forgive another’s wrongs. I know that
this also brings peace into our hearts and allows for us to be healed through
the Lord.
·
What is the danger in failing to forgive?
Not being
forgiven of our sins and having a greater sin on us
The opposite is also true and is a
warning given to us specifically in the Doctrine and Covenants. This means that
if we do not forgive those that have wronged us then we will not be able to
have the spirit to be with us as strong and in the worse part of it, the Lord
will hold us accountable for all the sins and wrongs that we have done. I know that
the Lord would not want any person especially those that are trying to repent
and come live with Him to have this. If we want repentance then it is required
for us to forgive all others. We don’t have to think that they will get away
with it but rather that the Lord will hold them accountable, but since we are
not God and do not have all the knowledge and will probably not see what
happens to that person, so we need to make sure to forgive them, and trust in
the Lord to hold them accountable in His own way.
