God’s Forgiveness Sets Us Free

“For if you forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others [nurturing your hurt and anger with the result that it interferes with your relationship with God], then your Father will not forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 AMP

We need to acknowledge and realize that when God said to forgive others their sin against us, we need to address the pain, the offense, the betrayal, the anger and etc. 

I believe God wants us to release all the above and give it to him because He desires for us to be whole. He wants us to testify about His goodness to mankind. We will give to others what we have.

You see verse 15 explains that if you’re still hurt and angry it will interfere with your relationship with Him. God is more interested in us having a good relationship with Him because that is what is going to bring us to a place of healing, wholeness and freedom so we can pass it on to others.

So His forgiveness is what sets us free.
