Matthew 18:23-35 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king, which would take account of his servants.… I. That sin is a debt, a vast debt; or that there is much, yea great, exceeding great evil in sin, considered as a debt. II. That sinners are debtors, and have nothing to pay, and therefore are forgiven freely, as an act of God's mercy, all their debts without any satisfaction made by them. III. That God doth and will call sinners who are debtors to Him, to an account, be they willing or no. IV. That a pardoned person, or one that God hath forgiven, does forgive from his heart all those that have injured him, and they that do not so are not, nor shall be ever forgiven. (Benjamin Keach.)
