What Are the Unending Benefits Of Forgiving?

 According to the Christian religion, much emphasis is given in the teaching of certain values, and their Holy book; the Bible, forgiving is one of the basic teachings. Nevertheless, when one forgives, the prospect of receiving the same from others is inexcusable. What are the real benefits of forgiving?


If you have a tendency of forgiving others, you remain with a peace of mind and a healthy heart. Some people do not want to even contemplate of what will happen when they forgive others. But surely, isn’t it wise to remember that we are all human who are prone to err? That is the nature of man.


Others believe that, forgiveness lowers one’s dignity. If that is what may be in your mind, then here is food for thought. In other words, they tend to think that when they show compassion to others, they appear less than who they really are. But the fact is that with forgiveness, there comes, blessings that do not come with grudge.


According to the book of Matthew chapter 6 verse 14 it says:


If you pardon the errors of those who do you certain wrongs, then expect the same manner of treatment from me’. Doesn’t this show you some sense? Yes, it does. It is good to know that our Grand Protector and Father is willing to forgive our sins even before we ask for it.


Many do not know what can happen to them if they do not forgive those who wrong them. In the same breath, the Bible warns that, there are big chances of not receiving any pardon of our errors if we behave contrary to those who do the same to us. To that end, may you try the much you can, however difficult it may be, bearing in mind that we are all human beings that are susceptible to making mistakes and so need each other. This will happen if only we forgive and forget.
