Forgiveness is a central concept to the lives of all Christians. In order to
take advantage of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, which is the only way to become
forgiven for our sins, we need to live in a manner worthy of that forgiveness.
Repentance of our sinful ways and granting forgiveness to others are both
required if we seek forgiveness for our sins. By putting these two principles
into action, we contribute to our own salvation and the salvation of others as
well.
