Through the years I have heard preachers say that we should unconditionally forgive all who sin against us. I have seen some Christians practice this. For instance, a man kills and rapes your daughter, and you say to the man "I forgive you" even when the murderer has not shown any remorse for it nor asked for forgiveness. Well, brothers, the bible does not teach that. Notice these words of Christ:
Here forgiveness is conditional on the repentance of the trespasser.
Some say that we should forgive those who trespass against us even if they don't repent. Yet, this is not even how sinners receive God's forgiveness. It is always followed by faith, repentance, and confession. Many scriptures teach this.
What think ye?
