Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

This is probably one of the most self-explanatory verses in the entire Bible, yet it’s hard to live by. Christians – true believers in Christ – have been forgiven of every sin. Read the Old Testament thoroughly, and you’ll see a God who despises sin. He simply cannot tolerate it. It is a great offense to Him. Yet He sent His Son to take on humanity and die as a penalty for the sins of the whole world – because He loves us. When we believe upon Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we are forgiven. Period.

How could we ever refuse to forgive our brother? How can we justify holding a grudge? We have been FORGIVEN! REJOICE!
