Matthew 18:21-22
Then came Peter to Him and said Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Till seven times?
JESUS said unto him. I say not unto you, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
During church last night I was caught by the fact that our sins are forgiven! I know as a Christ-follower this should be common knowledge , but at times the trials of life get in our way and the way respond to those trials says alot about where we are with Christ - I had to admit that I have been carrying around a lot of guilt for sins in the past - and even the ones I just commited - this struggle will contiune as long as we breathe the air of this earth - we will sin - it's just that we need to surrender more and more to JESUS and allow HIM to change us - we cannot do this on our own! When Peter asked Jesus how many times would he have to forgive those who sinned against him - I guess Peter thought there was limit to forgiveness - but Jesus says that's not the case - it's not that Jesus is approving sin - but it's the fact that His death paid for it all - and for those who put their trust in Him they are all forgiven - another thing that stuck me was that the Word says that all have fallen short - not just some - all - that means we all fit into that group- we all need forgiveness and it all comes from JESUS and since HE has forgiven us so much - we should be among those willing to forgive others -
how many times you may ask - JESUS said 7 x 70 - I know some of you are very smart and would just calculate that number and say that's enough - but that's not the point here - the point is we must be forgiving of others since we are forgiven - God didn't place a limit on it - allow the Holy Spirit to comform you into the likeness of the Son -
Remember that in CHRIST we are forgiven ALL our sins! Jesus paid it all -
Is there someone you need to forgive? Don't move past this day without giving them forgiveness - this is God's will for our lives - we must be like HIM and forgiveness must be central in our lives! Glory to God in the hightest - if it's sin 7 x 70 and more forgive them!

Word to the wise: Forgiveness not only helps those who have been wronged but those who did the wronging!
