In Christ you are forgiven

Ephesians 4:32 tells us to "³² be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."

God forgives, not because we forvige others, but because of His great mercy. As we come to understand His mercy and having received forgiveness, we will pass it on to others and also forgive those who have sinned against us.
