Matthew 18:21-35

We should not withhold forgiveness from others because God has forgiven and forgotten all our sins.  

Forgiveness is giving up resentment against someone and our right to get even no matter what has been done.

It is the surrender of my right to hurt you back. (Dr. Charles Stanley)

Unforgiveness is the deliberate, willful refusal to give up one’s resentment and the right to get even based

on the wrongful thought that someone needs to pay. (Dr. Charles Stanley)
