It's all about us for our own benefit

Like John 3:16 everything Jesus said to do was for our own benefit. You forgive someone for your benefit, not theirs. God can forgive sins not us, so it remains only for us to do it for our own benefit. That is the purpose of everything we do and believe. Anything a person thinks or believes based on what someone else says is that person's responsibility not someone elses. This is true because it is for the spirit within a man and whatever other spirit or spirits he deals with that convicts his heart. The Holy Spirit convicts, not Billy Graham for example. Billy Graham is a slave of Jesus just doing what he is told. If you follow Jesus you are dead in Christ and the dead are in no position to say God changes his mind, is not for today, or restrict or limit His promises in any way. J'es my view. Davin Paralee
