But if you do not forgive others, your Father will not forgive you your sins.

He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.

“For if you forgive others their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

And even though you were dead in your transgressions and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he nevertheless made you alive with him, having forgiven all your transgressions.

Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you your sins.”

In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation.
