What does it mean to forgive one another as God forgives us?

Forgiving others as God forgives us requires reflecting the same grace we have received. Ephesians 4:32 commands believers to be kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving one another, just as we have been forgiven for Christ's sake. This perspective recognizes that our ability to forgive is grounded in understanding our own need for forgiveness and the love shown to us in Christ. It encourages us to release bitterness and resentment, fostering a community that mirrors God's mercy and grace, ultimately pointing to the Gospel’s transformative power in our lives.
