The issue of forgiveness can become misty because the belief is that forgiveness benefits the forgiver. If we use the example of the Father forgiving someone, we would baulk at the idea of forgiving to make God feel better, relieving Him of any bitterness and clearing His mind, yet we claim these type of things for ourselves.Luke 17 states to forgive ONLY after repentance: if no repent, them you rebuke, as God will on Judgment Day to those who refuse to repent. That repentance gives the person forgiveness which benefits them, not the forgiver. Forgiveness is for the perpetrator, not the victim.

Hello Martin. Forgiveness does the person forgiving no good at all!? I find that wrong because so many have lived with unforgiveness against others and it has made them bitter but when forgiveness comes, so does a refreshed spirit. No one in this article says that God will feel relived “of any bitterness,” and “clearing His mind” as if God now feels better. I would study this a bit more sir as you are right on some accounts, but wrong about the benefit of the one who forgives.
