When we withold forgiveness from others... we are in effect saying that the atonement alone was insufficient to pay for this sin. We are holding out for more. We are finding fault with the Lord's offering. We are in essence demanding that the Lord repent of an insufficient atonement. So when we fail to forgive another, it is as if we are failing to forgive the Lord - who... needs no forgiveness.
The Peacegiver by James L. Ferrell. 2004. p.66
