I'm not trying to be argumentative, just playing "devil's advocate" because that's the thought that came into my mind when you said that our forgiveness is contingent upon God's.
P1 God's forgiveness is our model
P2 God only forgives the repentant (that's why he forgave us)
C We should only forgive the repentant

Don't know if what I was taught wrong, but I thought we should always be willing to forgive others, but if others sin against us and do not repent we do not have the obligation to forgive them, until they repent.
