What does love look like?
Colossians 3:12-14
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
1 Peter 4:8
Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
Luke 6:37

Luke 6:35
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
Matthew 18:21-22

Luke 6:32-36
“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
Romans 13:8-10
Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
What can we learn from the way God loves us?
John 3:16-17
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.
How important is love?
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; …
1 Corinthians 13:13
So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

I want to say, Brother, Spot On!
Wow, how it is still true, unless one forgives, one does not get forgiveness either.
Now there is a perplexity in this truth of Love given us through Son’s death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and deliverance at Pentecost, where new life for us began, in Father here on earth in Spirit and Truth, what is that?
The perplexity I see is:
Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
That statement was made before the cross of Christ, where all sin today is now taken away forever in him, for everyone. So we all are forgiven in his done work once for all. Col. 1:21-23 tells me this truth. Yet!
Since we all are today reconciled as forgiven from Father by Son, that is done for us all, but not all yet believe Father seriously and are working to get rewards, not seeing what is done first for them being 100% forgiven and reacting to him in appreciation for this gift, and now asking for new life in risen Son to lead them in Father’ spirit and truth.
I find it hard to stand in belief to this truth that is true, especially whenever I sin again, not wanting to use being forgiven for an excuse to do wrong to anyone.
Especially because I am not perfect, never have been and never will be, not of me that is truth, not even with trying to do good, trusting God to help me do it. For if God helps me do it, then I am the one doing it and pride will sneak in again and steal, kill and destroy me, whenever my trust is not on God alone, as we see in Christ’s walk for us, that is all Jesus trusted on is Father as the one and only one good.
Yet he Loves us so deep, he went to the cross for us to kill us, Actually himself, yet us in belief to his love and mercy to reckon our self as dead to be led by Father in risen Son for life.
Romans 6:11, read it from verse 1, amazing, as I think the Baptism talked of here is not water, it is spiritual.
No matter what it is Father’s Love given us by Son that is risen from the dead for us to be risen right now too, in Love.
Now on this side of the cross, I see I am forgiven, so what is it to not forgive? If I do not, do I really see I am forgiven? For if I do not forgive, how can I say I am forgiven?
Matt. 18:24-35 tells me, before Christ went to the cross and forgave everyone once for Father to give us new life in his risen life, that is done now forever for us to be new in. No thought can change what is done.
So I see now as that man in Matthew 18:24-35, I have and am now forgiven forever from God Father in Son, that is risen for us to walk new in, by him, not by us.
When I see another, that has done me wrong, or that I have done wrong, I forgive, and seek to be forgiven from those I have done wrong to as well.
Who am I to do as that man revealed in Matthew 18:24-25, for I was let go of what I can never pay for. It is just of God to take me back to court, not being in appreciation of being forgiven by him. Revealed in my not forgiven others.
So please see, we do not forgive to be forgiven, or love to be loved, we forgive and love because we are now forever forgiven and loved in our Lord unto our Lord’s savior, Father of us all now, as he told this to Mary in John after his resurrection, John 20 or 21
Eph. 3:15-19, I pray for us all
to not stop praying until we see with our eyes, what we see in Spirit and truth of Father by Son for us all.
Being this the message of reconciliation, as in 2Cor. 5:16-20
Thank you so deeply Brother for posting truth in order for us to see clear as Father reveals this to each of us
Well said, Howard…”we do not forgive to be forgiven, or love to be loved, we forgive and love because we are now forever forgiven and loved in our Lord…” If we really believe we are loved and forgiven… and if we really understand the depth of our need for that mercy and grace…How then can we help but offer the same to others? If we do not-perhaps it is because we really do not believe. And that would resolve the conflict with which you start your comment, would it not?
Yes as Father is doing this in us all to see and just be new in just forgiving and moving on, for it is the love of God that took me to see this and be this, not me him through me
Romans 2:1-4, 4 hit me like a tom of bricks
Thanks as we grow up new in humility to his love support and mercy given us by Son , that Father approved (s) of
