All right.
It's time to "Bring It On."
And Linda writes in,
"The Bible teaches us
that God will
forgive all our sins.
It also tells us that if
we don't forgive others,
he will not forgive us.
Does this mean a
Christian who does not

Well, I think getting into,
is it going to take away
your salvation, I think,
is an absolute mistake,
because it's going to
get you into legalism.
Jesus came to set us free from
the law of sin and death, so
walk in that freedom.
If you're having trouble
forgiving someone,
just tell God you're having
trouble forgiving them,
and can He forgive
them through you,
and can He give you that
heart of forgiveness?
But don't go down
the road of starting
to question your salvation.
Why were you saved?
Because God chose you.
I like to remind God of
that, that he chose me.
He's the one that
got me in this.
He'll see me through, and He is
able to present you faultless
in His presence
with exceeding joy.
