God expect us to forgive one another because he is always ready to forgive us whenever we sin against him. Whether you are forgiving someone or someone is forgiving you, It is a very powerful tool. Forgiveness plays an important role in our lives because if we don’t forgive others, God will not forgive you.

Ephesians 4:32 Says “Be kind and passionate to one another, forgiving each other just as Christ forgave you. Sometimes we find it difficult to forgive others when we consider the damage that has been done to us. But God is calling on us to let go, and forget the past by forgiving those who may have wrong us in one way or the other. Do you harbor hatred and resentment towards your friend, relative, or colleague? Let it go because it is our responsibility to forgive others irrespective of the damage or hurt.

JESUS, OUR ROLE MODEL: It is God’s desire that you reconcile with him today, because he is not interested in your past; rather he is interested to forgive you of all the sins you have committed.

He died on the cross and carried your pains and sorrows.Run to him now and ask of forgiveness because he always willing to embrace you and make your life meaningful.

He said in Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they be like red like crimson, they shall be as wool”. God can set you free from every negative lifestyle and uncontrollable habit that has put you in bondage. Take a step of faith and ask God to forgive you because he cares.
