AI OVERVIEW: Forgiveness is the gift of God to every single person, and believers are to forgive others just as God in Christ has forgiven them. Unforgiveness from bitterness, wrath, and anger brings emotional bondage, damages relationships, erodes fellowship with God, and even affects physical health, because the body, mind, and spirit are connected. Forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling; when someone apologizes, the proper response is, 'you are forgiven,' which frees both the giver and the forgiven. For those who never admit wrong, or who have died, visualize the other person in a chair, name the hurt, forgive, and pray for healing and a changed perspective, trusting God to use you more fully.
