       However, it is also true in a ‘small’ picture view that in order to maintain fellowship with God, we need to have a clear conscience. We should have everything laid out before him, having confessed all of our known sins and have nothing against anyone in our hearts. Now, I know, that seems like a tall order. I can remember a long time ago when I was a younger Christian and I had this question. And I recall that Pastor Jim Custer taught me the answer to this question. He went to Matthew chapter 18, to the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. Now, we’re not going to read this parable in full, but I recommend you do that on your own time, but jump down to verse 32, and let’s pick up there. We read: “Then his master summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you?’ And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should pay all his debt. So also my heavenly Father will do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart” (32-35, ESV).
