Matthew 6: 14-15
D&C 64: 9-10
What were the people of Corinth commanded to do "if any caused grief"?
What blessings do we see if we forgive?
What is the danger in failing to forgive?
The people of Corinth were commanded to forgive. They were also commanded to love one another. We are told to not only forgive but also ask for forgiveness. We also should give love and comfort to those we have caused pain or troubles to.
God will forgive us if we forgive others of their trespasses. It will also help us to have a fulfilling life and peace of mind if we do not hold grudges.
We are told that if we do not forgive others than God will not forgive us. We also must live with the burden of it until we can forgive. It causes a hard and heavy heart. It is worse in the eyes of our Father to not forgive someone than it is to be the trespasser
Here is a great Mormon message on the power of forgiveness.
