It’s not always easy to forgive those who have sinned against us, but Jesus commands us to forgive again and again. Let's look at what Jesus said to the Apostle Peter in Matthew 18:21-22. “Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’”Sometimes it seems really hard to forgive, but think about how God has forgiven you and use Him as your example. C.S. Lewis said ~ To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. ~ We are to forgive men their trespasses on the same condition that God forgives us ours. Our mercy must be just as unlimited as that of God.
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You. ~ Psalm 86:5. Thank you Lord for your Forgiveness and for your Lovingkindness! Praise your Holy Name!
We need to forgive those around us just as God forgives us!
"We don't have rights to not forgive the other people because God forgave our sins." This is the line that reminding me to forgive others.
