I turned to the Bible for guidance to remember these important tenets.

The Bible places a strong emphasis on forgiveness. Here are some key takeaways:

* God’s Forgiveness:  The Bible teaches that God is a forgiving God who desires to forgive us of our sins. Ephesians 1:7 says, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.”

* Forgiving Others:  The Bible also teaches that we are to forgive others as God has forgiven us. Colossians 3:13 says, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord has forgiven you.”

* Conditions for Forgiveness:  While forgiveness is commanded, it doesn’t mean condoning the offense. Forgiveness involves letting go of resentment and the desire for revenge.

* Benefits of Forgiveness:  Forgiveness is ultimately for our own benefit. Holding onto anger and resentment can be destructive.  Letting go allows us to move on with our lives.
