Matthew 6 contains the well-known Lord’s Prayer. After teaching us how to pray, Jesus highlights just one aspect of the prayer. In verse 14, He says ‘For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.’ Then in verse 15, the penalty for unforgiveness: ‘But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.’
