How Much Forgiveness Are You Blocking?
Luke 6:37 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Luke 6:37 gives a clear and uncomfortable instruction from Jesus.
He says not to judge, not to condemn, and to forgive.
Each command carries a promise attached to it.
Forgiveness is not presented as optional.
It is presented as a condition.
Jesus ties our actions directly to what we experience in return.
The measure we use is the measure that comes back to us.
This includes forgiveness.
How much we forgive determines how much we walk in forgiveness.
This does not mean we earn salvation.
It means we either align with God’s heart or resist it.
Unforgiveness hardens the heart.
A hardened heart struggles to receive mercy.
When we refuse to forgive, we close ourselves off.
We ask God for grace while withholding it from others.
That contradiction creates spiritual blockage.
Jesus is exposing a spiritual law, not shaming us.
Forgiveness is less about the other person and more about our freedom.
When we release someone, we release ourselves.
God’s forgiveness is abundant and complete.
But our experience of it can be limited by our posture.
A clenched fist cannot receive.
An open hand can.
Forgiveness opens the hand.
It loosens what bitterness tightens.
It restores clarity, peace, and spiritual sensitivity.
This is why Jesus speaks so directly about it.
He wants His followers free, not bound.
Forgiving does not excuse sin.
It releases the debt to God.
Justice belongs to Him.
Our role is obedience.
Today is an invitation to examine our heart.
Ask God who you may still be holding captive.
Choose forgiveness and step fully into the mercy already offered to you.
