How do we know that God's forgiveness is meant to be imitated?

Answered in 1 source

We know we should imitate God's forgiveness because Ephesians 4:32 teaches us to forgive as God forgave us.

The concept of imitating God's forgiveness is deeply rooted in scripture. Ephesians 4:32 commands believers to 'be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.' This underscores that as recipients of God's grace and forgiveness, believers are to mirror that grace in their interactions with others. Understanding the magnitude of God's forgiveness towards our sins explains why we have an obligation to forgive others, reflecting the character of God.
