So how many times must we forgive someone for doing us wrong? Matthew 18:21-22 "Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." Matthew 6:14 says "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
The take away: Never stop forgiving those who do wrong against you. If you forgive them, God will forgive you of your sins. If you do not forgive, you will not be forgiven. So if you feel like your patience is running out and you feel like your going to get mad, deny those feelings and forgive. You will feel much better and happier. Ive said it once and ill say it again, forgiving someone does make what they did wrong to you is right. It means you release the anger and bitterness which are not from God. Show mercy like you would like to have mercy shown to you.
