Why is it so important to God that we forgive others when they sin against us?
As God Himself forgives us our sins, no matter how many times we sin, It is expected that we forgive others in turn.God wants us to apreciate His love for us and His forgivness of our sins.We can only realize this, if we ourselves are called to forgive others for their crimesagainst us.

Forgiveness
It is important for us to forgive because God forgives. Eventhough it is hard for us to forgive especially to someone who has done so much wrong to us, we have to try and forgive and even learn to love that person. I have done my share, I sinned a lot, almost every day the Lord has made. But when I sin, i always feel guilty and miser and when I go to sleep at night, I ask forgiveness to the Lord and request that He help me not to sin the following day. I believe that He always forgives me and loves me no matter what. That is why we have to forgive others as God forgive our sins.

It is important to God that we forgive others because he forgives us and shows his mercy on us. And we should do the same and show mercy to others. So be willing to forgive at all times. Thank You! Lord for your tender mercies and loving kindness.

God wants us to do as he do, he is teaching things to us by his behavior. God forgives us all by Jesus body, then how can we insist on blaming our fellows?

It is by our own actions that He will judge us.We must forgive70x7 means you keep forgiving for as long as it takes just as Jesus forgives us time and time again.He wants us to love Him as He loves us and the only way we can cleanse ourselves of our sin is to sincerely ask the Lords forgiveness through Jesus Christ Christ Amen.

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

Then Peter came and said to him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?"
Jesus said to him, "I don't tell you until seven times, but, until seventy times seven. Therefore the Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who wanted to reconcile accounts with his servants. When he had begun to reconcile, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But because he couldn't pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, with his wife, his children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down and kneeled before him, saying, 'Lord, have patience with me, and I will repay you all!' The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.
"But that servant went out, and found one of his fellow servants, who owed him one hundred denarii, and he grabbed him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me what you owe!'
"So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will repay you!' He would not, but went and cast him into prison, until he should pay back that which was due. So when his fellow servants saw what was done, they were exceedingly sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done. Then his lord called him in, and said to him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt, because you begged me. Shouldn't you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, even as I had mercy on you?' His lord was angry, and delivered him to the tormentors, until he should pay all that was due to him. So my heavenly Father will also do to you, if you don't each forgive your brother from your hearts for his misdeeds."
