Matt. 6:14, is the calling to repent; in it we repent of having offended God, and we must come to terms of also having been offended. If we cannot forgive those who offended us, neither have we truly repented of having offended God! In other words, we must show mercy, to obtain mercy.
"Mercy rejoices against judgment." Surely all men have sinned; all men deserve the punishment of death. But mercy suspended God's righteous judgment, until grace entered our hearts.

Then what do you make of Jesus words? If you forgive others the father will forgive you. If you don't forgive others the father will not forgive you.
In other words if a man has repented been baptized and received the Holy Ghost but doesn't forgive others doesnt that mean that according to Jesus that God won't forgive him?
