1) Unforgiveness stands between you and God. Why? Because we are all sinners, and through grace, God has forgiven us and sees us as righteous. If God can forgive us all the awful things we’ve done, we can forgive others.
2) Forgiveness is good for you. If you harbor unforgiveness you will be holding onto bitterness and thinking badly of others, sinning, and opening a door to the enemy to get into your life and cause havoc.
3) Forgiveness is for your benefit, not for the benefit of the person you are forgiving. As long as you are feeling like a victim, you are carrying a heavy burden. Forgiveness allows you to put the burden down. And simply walk away from it. Free.
4) Choosing not to forgive keeps you stuck in the past, preventing you from moving forward. Without forgiveness, you are constantly stuck in the past. Many people waste years of their lives in bitterness and resentment when they could, through forgiveness, have lived that time in joy.
5) Forgiving helps you grow spiritually. Once you have forgiven anyone in your life you feel has harmed you,you suddenly find you have more time for thinking good productive and useful happy thoughts instead of negative and useless self-centered complaining.
6) When you forgive the healing beings. Holding onto resentment and not forgiving is sinful and seems to stand in the way of physical wellness.
7) Forgiveness is a free gift! Free to give and to receive.
8) Forgiveness purifies your spirit.
9) You are empowered when you forgive. Forgiving those who have done you wrong gives you the power back. It unbinds you from the effects of that transgression and opens the door to the Lord to deal with the situation.
10) Jesus told us to forgive. He suffered and died and was resurrected so that we could have forgiveness.
