Mat 5:26 | MHM | STEP | v. 26 : Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny. Jesus warns that if we do not settle things with others, we may face the consequences. It is better to forgive and be forgiven than to let problems grow until they bring punishment (Matthew 5:26 ). In summary, Jesus teaches that obeying God is about more than just not committing murder. God cares about our hearts, our words, and our relationships. We must deal with anger, avoid insulting others, and always seek to make peace. If we want God to accept our worship, we must first try to be right with other people.
