FORGIVING PEOPLE IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF FINDING FAVOR WITH GOD ALMIGHTY. Yet There Are People Who Think That They Do Not Need To Forgive Other People Before They Themselves Are Forgiven By God. The Bible tells us what is required, yet those who claim that this book to be the infallible Living Word of God reject what it states and believe that they do not have to forgive people they have an issue with before they are forgiven.

Is it necessary to seek forgiveness from the person we directly hurt in order for God to forgive us and so we don't go to hell?

Or Can we just seek forgiveness from God and thats enough? Times where you feel bad about wrong from the past but you want to let it lie now & don't want to speak to the person and say sorry..(even where it is still possible to e.g. they arent dead) you just don't WANT TO Can you still go to heaven

People can taste Heaven here on Earth when they they enter the presence of God. Some Christians call this the practice of entering God’s presence. Others see this as something that we need to wait for until we begin to seek God in prayer. However, there are four types of prayer stated in the New Testament, which are sometimes referred to as confession, meditation, intercession and thanksgiving.

• First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men. (1 Timothy 2:1)

If you really want to walk with God and learn how to pray effectively then you will do well to read The Only Words Written By The Finger Of God. For is possible to pray for those who have things against you and nullify any evil thoughts that are projected towards you, if you know how. But the Bible does say that if you know someone has something against you then you ought to go to that person and make amend before you present your gift at the altar of God—in other words before you offer the gift of your worship. For unless our righteousness exceeds that of the hypocrites we shall not be able to enter the Kingdom of God.

• For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. “You have heard that it was said to the men of old, ‘You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that every one who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (Matthew 5:20–24)

It is possible to experience the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth, even if we are not walking in the fullness of the experience, which will only occur at the resurrection of the just. However, part of the process of learning how to walk with God begins with forgiving others, so that God can forgive us.

• Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven. (Luke 6:37)

For as much as many people do not want to admit the reality that we are all faced with, the truth is we each hold our destiny in our own hands. Death approaches faster, and more unexpectedly, for some of us than we would like. The only way we can overcome death is if someone has died and risen from the dead. Jesus overcame death and lives in the hearts of many who have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the assurance of eternal life. The message of Jesus is that only those who forgive others in their own hearts will be considered for forgiveness of their own violations of the Ten Commandments, before they can begin to receive the inheritance that is available to all.
