Why is it so important to God that we forgive others when they sin against us?

By forgiving others, we are acting like God, behaving as children of God, showing God's character of forgiveness, mercy, and grace to others. We are also loving them and being obedient to God's words. We also show faith in God's words when we forgive what we would rather not forgiven. We cannot forgive on our own and must ask God for help again and again and when we overcome the feelings of bitterness, resentment, and anger at the sin, we will know that God has helped us overcome it and know of His presences. Our faith and relationship with God will also grow because of this experience. In addition, our relationship with God will be right because unforgiveness in our lives creates a distance between God and us. Though He is with us, it is hard for us to sense His peace, joy, and love when we are bitter, angry, and resentful of someone/something.

Why is it helpful to confront a brother alone first, before involving others in confronting him?

Because you may be mistaken and by not confronting him in front of others, you risk not offending him. You wil be able to save face. You can correct things just between the two of you if he was in the wrong and he will be able to save face.

In what ways are those who do not know Jesus like lost sheep?

They don't have a clue where they are going, what their purpose is, who they belong to, how much their owner is missing them and wanting to bring them back, how much danger they are in, how to get back home
