The obvious answer to the question “Why forgive?” is this: “Because God says so!”
Why does God say so? First,because others need it. And second, because we need it! Forgiveness is at the heart of God’s character and the heart of why Jesus came. God’s Word reveals His forgiving heart and provides many reasons why you should always strive to be forgiving.
“In him [Jesus] we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)
