#Matthew 18:21-35; 1 John 1:9#
Ken Dyck's main point is that forgiveness is a crucial aspect of the Christian life, and it's not just about others, but also about ourselves and our relationship with God. He shares his personal story of forgiveness, including forgiving his father and himself, and emphasizes that forgiveness is a decision, not a feeling. Ken explains that true forgiveness is motivated by compassion, requires a payment, and includes a pardon, and that it's a willingness to live with the consequences of another's behavior without bitterness. He also discusses the consequences of not forgiving, including experiencing God's anger and being handed over to the tormentor, and encourages listeners to take action and forgive others, themselves, and ask for God's forgiveness.
