Commentary on Matthew 18:35
Jesus concludes the parable by stating God will not forgive those who don't forgive from the heart. This doesn't earn salvation by works but demonstrates that genuine saving faith produces forgiveness. Reformed theology distinguishes justification (by faith alone) from sanctification (faith producing works). Unforgiveness reveals an unregenerate heart that hasn't truly experienced God's mercy. 'From your hearts' emphasizes sincerity—external forgiveness without internal release of bitterness fails God's standard.
