Commentary on Matthew 6:15
This sobering warning that unforgiveness blocks God's forgiveness creates apparent tension with salvation by grace alone. The resolution lies in distinguishing justification from sanctification—we are forgiven freely through Christ's blood (justification), yet a forgiving spirit is the necessary fruit proving genuine conversion (sanctification). Those who refuse to forgive demonstrate they've never truly understood or received God's forgiveness. The unmerciful servant parable (Matthew 18:23-35) illustrates this principle.
