I should freely forgive others in response to what Christ has already done for me.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you (Eph 4:32).
Under law (see Matt 18:35), a person forgives others and then is forgiven by God. Under grace (see Eph 4:32), we are forgiven in Christ and our response should be to forgive others. This makes it no less important, and in fact, if we live by grace, makes it much easier to do."
