The teaching of the Bible makes us understand how important it is to forgive others since we have been forgiven by the blood of Christ. Therefore, we should forgive those who do things harming our interests because we are able to stand firm before God by the grace and mercy bestowed by the Lord. When we repent, our sins are completely forgiven because of the death and resurrection of Jesus. But, it’s really hard for us to forgive others when they harm us. We always struggle and pray before we forgive others. When we cannot forgive others, we will fall in pain and hatred, feeling so depressed. Actually, forgiveness is not only about others, but also about our own spiritual growth.
