But unforgiveness and sin have a way of keeping us in a constant state of chaos and trouble. Sin isolates us from each other and from God, but forgiveness is the antidote to sin. Forgiveness is a crucial and pivotal element to spiritual and personal growth. Forgiveness is not an option; it is a necessity.
