The Forgiveness Condition
Commentators stress that forgiving others is a necessary condition for receiving God's daily forgiveness. This isn't about earning salvation, which is a free gift. Rather, as the Expositor's Bible Commentary notes, it's about maintaining fellowship with the Father. An unwillingness to forgive others may reveal that we haven't truly grasped the depth of God's forgiveness for us.
