Matthew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, etc. Observe Christ says, "My heavenly Father", not "your". God will not be their heavenly Father unless they emulate his spirit of mercy, and are as ready to forgive others their trespasses as he is to forgive their own. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Matthew 5:7). "As ye mete to others it shall be measured to you" (Matthew 7:2). "Forgive us our trespasses even as we forgive those who trespass against us "(Matthew 6:12). "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap" (Galatians 6:7). If we are hard and unforgiving to our fellow-men, we can never expect our heavenly Father to overlook our own sins. It is a vital doctrine that we, by our own mind towards others, determine what shall be the mind of God towards us.
