Forgiveness is a vital characteristic we must embody to become true children of God in His Kingdom. God has prepared positions of teaching and authority for us, and with such power comes the necessity of a heart ready to forgive and forget mistakes. In this world, an unwillingness to extend forgiveness often fuels conflict, evident in historical rivalries and personal disputes that escalate to violence or division. God does not take a hardhearted lack of forgiveness lightly, and it could jeopardize our salvation. Jesus teaches that our forgiveness from God is tied to the forgiveness we offer others; if we refuse to forgive, we cannot expect to receive God's mercy and love. We must forgive others even if they do not seek it, treating them with kindness, harboring no grudges, and being ready to do good to them when the opportunity arises. This approach produces peace and sets a righteous example for all. Jesus emphasizes the boundless nature of forgiveness, instructing that we should not limit it to a specific number of times but extend it as often as someone offends us and seeks pardon. Even without a request for forgiveness, we are to forgive and act properly toward the offender. In illustrating this, Jesus shares the story of a servant forgiven a massive debt by a compassionate king, only to refuse mercy to another who owed him a trivial amount. This parable underscores the importance of being forgiving, as we owe God a debt far beyond repayment, and He expects us to mirror His compassion. Forgiveness, though challenging to human nature, is essential for promoting love, harmony, and peace among all of God's people.
