Why should you forgive?

Jesus’ insistence that we forgive It is so great that it goes so far as to say that you must forgive seventy times seven.

That every time your brother asks you sorry sorry May Father God forgive youYou must also forgive. On the cross, he sets the perfect example, forgiving and begging the Father to have mercy on his murderers.

In the parable of the prodigal son, the father completely forgives him and restores all his inheritance rights to him and orders that a party be held for the penitent’s son. Forgive the adulterer and the good thief.

This is the first to enter the kingdom of heaven. Magdalena, from which he expelled seven demons, he makes her one of his closest disciples and she is the first to see the risen Christ.

Actually the core of The Gospel is divine mercy, it is reflected in Jesus’ surrender and death on the cross for us, paying the ransom for our eternal damnation.

Jesus bears the weight of all the sins of the whole world, offering his life for our eternal salvation. The gates of paradise are opened to us by pure divine mercy, thanks to God’s forgiveness.

You have to forgive because that’s how you imitate the merciful God and get closer to him. You must forgive because the Lord commands you to do so and it is clearly stated in the Gospel. You have to forgive because that’s how you stop a vortex of aggression, revenge, hostility and hatred generated by conflicts.

The spiral of verbal or physical violence is paralyzed when someone forgives. That’s why “an eye for an eye” doesn’t work in The New Covenant sealed with the blood of Christ.

You must forgive the aggressor himself out of love, realizing that his evil is caused because he is a victim of his own traumas, resentment, negative vision of life, and therefore it is better to pity his situation than to hate it.

But you must forgive out of self-love, yes, out of self-love. Because resentment, resentment and hatred are poisons that slowly intoxicate us, attacking our entire being as a deadly negative spiritual substance that affects the mind, feelings, emotions, soul, and finally the body.

A person who does not forgive becomes sick, he is taken over by his cultivation of harmful emotions, which, like poisonous toxins, corrode the soul, and this makes him create desires for revenge, for wounding and destroying others. She injures herself. He creates evil against his own being. And every time he remembers the damage he suffered, he relives the event, it hurts more and he becomes more and more bitter.

That’s why we must always forgive, seventy times seven. And so we listen to Christ, the physician of the soul.
