Benefit of Forgiveness

Forgiveness is ideal not only to the person being forgiven but also to the person forgiving. Emotional well-being and freedom can be attained via forgiveness. It has the power to free us from the hurts of the past, whether we are talking about ten minutes ago or ten years ago. The following are benefit of forgiveness:

·Forgiveness sets us free from hatred and bitterness. We are released from the grip of hatred and resentment in our hearts toward other people when we sincerely forgive them. Joseph did not dispute the fact that his brother's behavior was wicked. Joseph, though, resisted becoming resentful as a result of their acts. Joseph didn't offer any justifications for their actions. He knew that responsibility for their deeds lay with God, not him. However, Joseph could console and be compassionate to his brothers since he had forgiven his brothers.

·Forgiveness shields us from satanic attacks. Non forgiveness will give Satan an entry point in our lives, from where he takes advantage of us. When Satan gains such a foothold, he keeps us in bondage. Because of past sins they haven't forgiven, Satan still wants to take control of many Christians, preventing them from receiving God's forgiveness. 2 Corinthians 2:10-11

·Forgiveness unlocks for us the door of mercy and divine favor. God, however, will only pardon us to the extent of our willingness to pardon others. This indicates that if we don't forgive others, God's mercy will be closed to us, and we won't experience his favor in this life. It makes sense that Jesus advises us to resolve the matter of forgiving others before going to the altar of God to worship and give sacrifices.

·Forgiveness will qualify you for eternal rewards. One of the greatest requirements in entering the kingdom of God is to pursue peace with all men. The root of bitterness and non-forgiveness defies our garment of righteousness and will hinder us from enjoying eternity in heaven and receiving eternal rewards.

Perhaps you have never received the forgiveness of sin God provided through his son, Jesus Christ. The truth is we will never be able to forgive those who have hurt us until we have experienced the forgiveness of God. You need the assurance that your sins are forgiven through the precious blood of Jesus by receiving him as your personal Lord and Saviour. You will need to live daily for Jesus, with the readiness to forgive others their sins against you, even when they do not ask for forgiveness.
