If we pray to the Lord to forgive our sins, we must in turn forgive the sins of others. We must all stand before the judgment seat of God. We must all one day give an account of our own sins. We should therefore always serve the Lord with fear and awe.
We must constantly pray and be alert that we not be lead into temptation. Even in the midst of severe temptations, we should strive to make progress and hope to attain virtue. Judgment awaits all of us.
We should never become angry when we are corrected for doing something wrong or for our sins. Sometimes we are unconscious of the sins we commit because our hearts are of little faith. Futile desires often cloud our minds. However, we can rejoice if we keep God's commandments.
In Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
