And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors (Matthew 6:12). This is the only part of the prayer that Christ explained. For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions (Matthew 6:14-15). Notice that when you go into the door of God’s kingdom, you go in through the door of forgiveness.
