We should forgive because we are grateful for God's forgiveness toward us, not so that we could retain health and peace. We should not need a selfish motive to forgive others. We are able to show compassion on those who repent, because "God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us" (Romans 5:5).

We must forgive others because we are not our own. Since God commands us to forgive people when they repent, we have no right to withhold forgiveness when they repent: "So watch yourselves. 'If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him'" (Luke 17:3).

The first sign of repentance is the person's perception of his own wretchedness. The unrepentant is in a spiritual stupor, and the preaching of the gospel awakes the elect.

Sometimes even a true Christian may fall into serious sin, but such a fall is never permanent. Nevertheless, as long as a person persists in a sinful lifestyle, we have no reason to believe his profession of faith, and therefore should think of him as an unbeliever. Jesus teaches that a stubborn refusal to repent is sufficient reason for excommunication:

One who comes to God in repentance relies on God's mercy alone. He says, "I can do nothing. I cannot undo what I have done. I cannot pay the debt that I have incurred.
