Jesus said that forgiveness is reciprocal and to the extent we forgive others we ourselves are forgiven.
This is the grace of God as I put the spin on it. I would gladly offer many scriptural proofs of this grace as taught by Jesus, but I might find myself again "on alert" for being characterized as blasphemous and disruptive.
It is always puzzling and curious to me why scriptural evidence I offer fails to even register to most of the posters on TOL.
Perhaps, you're using the wrong Scripture and it's out of context?
