The Importance of Forgiveness

You have to do both. It's not good for anybody to let them sin against you. And therefore, if your husband breaks the law like that and beats you, then you should call the police. But on the other hand, unless you forgive, it's really going to harm the whole process. If there's any chance of killing the marriage, you've got to do the forgiveness later on. You might wish I had forgiven him, because I really wish I had brought the marriage anyway. So it's fine. He broke the law at the same time you have to give Jesus to in Mark 1125.
