Temptations will often come to try to get you to turn from a life of holiness. Frequently these are not what people call sins, but are thoughts to get you to follow the ways of the world. Two of the most common are unforgiveness and a root of bitterness. People seem to forget Matthew 6:14-15, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Unforgiven sin in a person’s life, is the same as living in sin, which if not cleansed will keep the person out of Heaven. God called you to a holy life, which starts with your thoughts. Keep your thoughts from going into wrong areas, by asking the Lord to help you control your thoughts, so that you will always be pleasing to Him.
1 Thessalonians 4:7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.
