Through the death on the cross of Jesus Christ, if you asked Him for forgiveness for your sins, you have also received forgiveness. We should and may pass this on to our fellow men. Forgiveness and healing are the two most important elements of the good news, the gospel.
In the following verses Jesus explains this very precisely. It begins with the fact that it probably requires an everlasting readiness and in the parable he describes how much we have been forgiven and at the same time also the hardness of heart and consequences if we ourselves do not forgive.
Some things are easier and some things are very, very difficult to let go of, because they had deep wounds and personally severe consequences for you. Forgiving begins with a decision of the will and the feelings or healing you need comes from your loving Father in Heaven, through the power of the Holy Spirit here on earth. So there is a lot of hope for your tortured soul to come to rest again. Negative feelings and thoughts like anger, bitterness, jealousy, envy etc. fly away and a deep peace comes. You can call this a miracle. The book by Peter Horrobin “The most powerful prayer on earth” could be a great help in this process. It leads you to freedom !!
Matthew 18
Forgiveness
21 Then Peter came to Him and asked, “Lord, how many times will my brother sin against me and I forgive him and let it go? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered him, “I say to you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven.
23 “Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves. 24 When he began the accounting, one who owed him 10,000 [i]talents was brought to him. 25 But because he could not repay, his master ordered him to be sold, with his wife and his children and everything that he possessed, and payment to be made. 26 So the slave fell on his knees and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’ 27 And his master’s heart was moved with compassion and he released him and forgave him [canceling] the debt. 28 But that same slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him [j]a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began choking him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe!’ 29 So his fellow slave fell on his knees and begged him earnestly, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you.’ 30 But he was unwilling and he went and had him thrown in prison until he paid back the debt. 31 When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and they went and reported to their master [with clarity and in detail] everything that had taken place. 32 Then his master called him and said to him, ‘You wicked and contemptible slave, I forgave all that [great] debt of yours because you begged me. 33 Should you not have had mercy on your fellow slave [who owed you little by comparison], as I had mercy on you?’ 34 And in wrath his master turned him over to the torturers (jailers) until he paid all that he owed. 35 My heavenly Father will also do the same to [every one of] you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.”
