The people of Corinth were commanded to, “if any have caused grief”, to forgive them. One thing that stood out to me is found in verse 7 of 2 Corinthians 2. Paul teaches that not only should we forgive each other but we must comfort each other also. We should let the other person know that we care about them and do not want to be enemies.
The blessings we see if we forgive are simple. We gain forgiveness from our Heavenly Father if we forgive others. If we do not forgive others, as it says in the book of Matthew, our Father will not forgive us.
The danger in failing to forgive is that of is as I mentioned above…the Lord will not forgive us of our sins and trespasses. Therefore, it is essential for us to find the faith and willingness to forgive others. If we do not, our personal repentance will be for nothing.
