Refusing to forgive may feel like holding someone else accountable, but it quietly wounds the soul that refuses to let go. In this message, Dr. David Jeremiah teaches from Matthew 6:12, 14-15, where Jesus connects our experience of God's forgiveness with our willingness to forgive others. This message explains why we forgive because we are forgiven, how we forgive as God has forgiven us, and why forgiveness must become a settled posture before the next wound comes. For anyone battling bitterness, Christ offers a path from hurting and hating toward healing and reconciliation.
