How does forgiveness relate to God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Forgiveness is an expression of God's grace, essential for restoring relationships and exemplifying Christ's love.

Forgiveness is deeply intertwined with the concept of grace in Christian theology. God's grace is unmerited favor that allows sinners to be reconciled to Him through Christ's sacrifice. In Colossians 3:13, Paul teaches that Christians should forgive one another as a demonstration of the grace they have received. This act of forgiveness is not merely a legal transaction; it is a relational restoration that mirrors the grace God extends to His elect, reflecting His love and mercy. By forgiving, believers participate in the grace that has transformed their own lives and contribute to a community that embodies the gospel of reconciliation.
