Day 199. Why should you forgive others?

Today is day 199 and we are on the section on second part of the The Fifth Petition: "As we forgive those who trespass against us".

199. Why should you forgive others?

I should forgive others because, while I was still a sinner, God forgave me through Jesus Christ. Failing to forgive impedes God’s work in my life and gives opportunity to the evil one. (Genesis 50:15–21; Psalm 133; Matthew 18:21–35; Luke 23:34; Ephesians 4:30–32; Colossians 3:12–13)

We will conclude today with The Lord's Prayer.
