My friend hear me, some of us are guilty of sin for not doing what the Holy Spirit in us would have asked of us to do. Anytime we withhold or refrain from doing good to anyone and we choose not to help or we repay evil for evil it is sin.The Lord Christ Jesus taught us and said in Matthew 5:
[38]You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. [Exod. 21:24; Lev. 24:20; Deut. 19:21.]
[39]But I say to you, Do not resist the evil man [who injures you]; but if anyone strikes you on the right jaw or cheek, turn to him the other one too.
[40]And if anyone wants to sue you and take your undershirt (tunic), let him have your coat also.
My friend it is important to observe everything that the Lord taught us and not be people that retaliate when evil is done to us furthermore we must not withhold being generous, being kind, and being helpful when we have the capacity and capability to do so especially to those that hate or despise us.
James 4:17 says, So any person who knows what is right to do but does not do it, to him it is sin.
This is a stern warning cos withholding good is as wicked as witchcraft. We need to understand that scripture is very clear in this matter; Proverbs 25:
[21]If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; [Matt. 5:44; Rom. 12:20.]
[22]For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord will reward you.
So today the verdict is yours: Choose to do good and be rewarded for it, or choose to do evil and be punished for it!
Rather do good, not evil!

Thank you Pastor Kelvin.
Forgetting about someone who did something good to us is sin.
