Without forgiveness and its power to restore us and our relationships, we are destined to become hard of heart. And hardness of heart is anathema to God. The Good News is that Jesus Christ brought God’s forgiveness with Him. Yet there is an important catch to receiving God’s forgiveness: in response to God’s forgiveness, we must become forgivers ourselves. Remaining unforgiving means refusing God’s priceless gift of forgiveness. When you let in God’s blanket forgiveness, you cannot help but forgive yourself and others, because of the freedom of heart and soul forgiveness brings. You do not want to hold onto unforgiveness any longer.
