"'No, not seven times, ' Jesus replied, 'but seventy times seven '" (Matthew 18:22)
So much in Scripture is made of forgiveness because it is the true model of godliness. Anyone can hate or want to seek revenge; forgiveness is the full power of God and it is what makes you complete.
Remember that the unrefined man-the sinner who hasn't yet met Jesus-offends you out of ignorance. Because his spirit is dead he literally doesn't know what he is doing whether it is the seventh time or the seventieth time-or the 490th time
This 30-Day Reading Plan takes ancient texts and applies them to modern life; they build on each other and prove that God gave us all the answers way back then because he knew we would need them right about now The only things that changed are time and technology; the hopes and dreams of men and women are the same, and the solution is the same. So be very encouraged-forgiveness is just as powerful and redeeming today as it ever was And it's all yours.
