How do we know that forgiveness is necessary for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Forgiveness is necessary for Christians as it demonstrates our understanding of God's forgiveness towards us and is mandated in Scripture.

Jesus emphasizes the significance of forgiveness throughout His teachings. In Matthew 18:21-22, Peter asks how often he should forgive, and Jesus responds with 'seventy times seven,' indicating the boundless nature of forgiveness expected of believers. Furthermore, the Apostle Paul underscores this idea in Ephesians 4:32, where he commands believers to forgive one another just as God, through Christ, has forgiven them. This principle not only showcases the importance of forgiveness for personal spiritual health but also reflects our position as recipients of divine grace, which compels us to extend that grace to others.
Scripture References: Matthew 18:21-22, Ephesians 4:32
