Colossians 3:13-14 ~ bearing with one another, and forgiving on another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all theses things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
So we really have no excuse for holding grudges. We don't have any excuse for complaining about someone or being mad if someone complains about you. Why? Because Christ forgave us. Do you know how nasty He was treated? Even today all of us sin and dishonor God but He still forgives us no matter what. Why? Because He loves us. And love covers all things. "love is the bond of perfection." Does that tell you how important love is? If we want to even begin to be like Christ, we must have love. Love for people and especially love for God. We must love enough to be willing to sacrifice for someone else. It's worth it. How do I know? Because your reward will be in heaven. Wouldn't you want to spend a small amount of time sacrificing and doing something you might not want to do for an eternity with Christ? Compared to what Christ went through, this is not a big task. And it's completely doable. How? Matthew 19:26 says, "And Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, But with God all things are possible.'"
