What does the Bible say about forgiveness for Christ's sake?

In Ephesians 4:32, we are instructed to be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other as God, for Christ's sake, has forgiven us. This forgiveness is not based on anything we've done; instead, it is a gift from God, extended to us through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. He forgives us not temporarily or with conditions but completely and eternally. The phrase 'for Christ's sake' emphasizes that our forgiveness is rooted in Christ’s righteousness and His redeeming work, rather than our own merits.
