Do we forgive in order to get God’s forgiveness?

Matthieu 6:12 (NEG79)

12 pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous aussi nous pardonnons à ceux qui nous ont offensés;

We do not forgive on order to merit God’s forgiveness. Rather, our experience of God’s forgiveness and grace must result in a change of heart and willingness to forgive others (Matthew 18:21–35).1 Receiving pardon from God comes with the responsibility of extending pardon to others.2
