Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Matthew 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. [Seventy times seven = 490 times. In other words, if someone wrongs you, forgive them, no matter how many times they sin against you. It may take some time to build trust with that person again, but, forgive them. These verses are important as well: Matthew 6:14-15, Mark 11:25-26, Luke 17:3-4, Romans 12:17-20, Ephesians 4:26, Colossians 3:13]. Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Question: What are you to do if the one that wrongs you never repents to you? Perhaps they are dead now or living in another place, thus their repentance to you can't be done. Maybe they don't realize they have wronged you. My answer: I do believe God wants us to have a heart that is inclined to forgiving in any instance. Remember, overcome evil with good and vengeance is mine sayeth the LORD. I definitely need to pray and contemplate on this subject much more. Food for thought: Jesus was trying to let us know that if we don’t forgive others, then He won’t be able to do the work in us that He so lovingly wants to do. I believe we must be in the right frame of mind, so to speak, by practicing forgiveness ourselves. Christ has continued to forgive us every time we fail the standard of His perfection and we ask for His forgiveness. Every other person deserves that same measure of God’s grace and forgiveness that we have received. Please reply with your thoughts if you so desire. I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
