Can believers forgive each other s sins
God? (Explaining the verse in the Bible of John 20:23)
Church ministers and many ordinary believers say that believers
can forgive sins to each other and should do so according to the Bible,
but It does not mean that they will be forgiven by God. Is it so? Yeah,
that's true. However,The Lord said to his disciples, "To whom shall you
forgive your sins, they will be forgiven." And if Christians do not
forgive each other, it is a sin. It's not said here about all the sins
of a person in his daily and past life, but only about personal between
Christians relating to their personal relationship. Here
God promises to forgive these sins, and only God will forgive these sins.
The real forgiveness of sins occurs only through the Blood of the Lord on
Calvary, and without the shedding of His blood, there would be no forgiveness
in the history of people theirs. This is said by the verse Hebrews 9:22
“There is no blood without shedding forgiveness.” Believers must forgive
their sins according to the Bible. So also in the Ephesians 4:32 it is
said, “Be good to one another,compassionate, forgive one another, just
as God has forgiven you in Christ.”
All these sins will be forgiven by God, as God promises to the faithful.
But This does not belong to other sins of believers. Other sins
The faithful cannot forgive, but only God Himself. However, some refer
to the Bible verses Matthew 18:15-17 and Luke 17:3,4. But poems these
are quite talking about another: when the believer wants to achieve
confessions of guilt of another brother, the offender of his own.
And the commandment of God "to whom you forgive sins, he will be forgiven;
on whom you will leave, on tha will remain” (John 20:23) speaks of the
forgiveness of the abuser,Even if he does not confess guilt and does not
ask for forgiveness!
The Lord’s promise of forgiveness of the sins of the personal for
Christians is similar the promise of God to man given in John 3:15:15,16,
which says about lifeeternal, provided man fulfills faith in the Son of God.
God promises the forgiveness of the sins of man on condition of fulfillment
man said to him in John 3:15,16. So in the verse John 20:23 God will forgive
the sin of the believer who has done something wrong His brother is faithful
to his brother if his brother forgives him his sin. Of course, the ministers
Churches cannot forgive people's sins, but only personal ones who have committed
in relation to their believers, that is, as well as all believers, about whom
I said above.
