Triple plate steel against water

"…The Lord indicates a…serious problem with harboring an unforgiving heart: 'Wherefore, I say unto you, that ye ought to forgive one another; for he that forgiveth not his brother his trespasses standeth condemned before the Lord; for there remaineth in him the greater sin.'  Is the Lord truly saying that refusing to forgive another is a greater sin than the offense committed against us? Yes. Truman Madsen suggests one reason for this: In refusing to forgive another, we, in effect, attempt to deny the blessings of the Atonement to that person: 'You may have reached the point of desperation in your own life when you have prayed and yearned for forgiveness of your own guilt and sin. But then you turn and say, 'But not him! Don't you forgive him! I'm not going to, he doesn't deserve it.' You will then close the channel of love

 and compassion and revelation from the Lord. 

You seek to nullify His atonement for others. 

It is like triple plate steel against water.'
