This quote comes as a comment on Ephesians 4:32. “A Christian call to forgive does not say: forgive in order to earn the forgiveness of God. It says forgive because you have been forgiven by God … Christian living moves from what God has freely done for us in Christ to what we should freely do for others. It is not the other way around.” John Piper Exposing the Dark World of Abortion, page 5
