Forgiveness is central to the gospel. Jesus taught us to forgive as we’ve been forgiven:

• Colossians 3:13: “Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

Forgiveness isn’t about excusing the wrong but releasing the burden of anger or pain.

• Matthew 6:14-15 reminds us of the importance of forgiveness in our relationship with God.

Through discipleship, we learn to rely on God’s grace to forgive, even when it feels impossible. This reflects His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
