The Biblical Mandate and Healing Power of Forgiveness

The Great Physician (Jesus) taught that forgiveness is a vital spiritual necessity.  Believing ones who do not forgive cannot expect to be forgiven of their trespasses.  We must also remember that we are to forgive others as God has forgiven us through Christ.  This is no mere theological moral imperative it is the foundation upon which we have been forgiven for our many sins.  The practice of forgiveness is primary in our relationship with God.
