What story did Jesus say 7 x 70?

Jesus didn't make this statement in a "story," but in a direct answer to Peter's question about forgiveness.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."[NKJV]


Where does it say about if you cant forgive your brother how can god forgive you?

Clearly, forgiveness is a key concept in scripture. God is the only one who can forgive sin, as least to the point of freeing one from the penalty of sin. God does encourage us to forgive one another. One of the disciples asked how many times one should forgive another, 7 times? To which Jesus replied 7 times 7 (or 70 times 7), in order to make the point that there should be no end to forgiveness. It usually follows that those who have a deep understanding of the wretchedness of sin, and the extent to which God went to forgive us (Christ's death on the cross), these folks are usually those with forgiving hearts. On the other hand, those with a shallow understanding of the depths from which they've been forgiven can easily neglect or refuse to forgive others. Jesus even told a parable about forgiveness. The bottom line was that folks who do not forgive others are probably not in a position to be gaining forgiveness from God. Apart from the forgiveness associated with salvation, there's also forgiveness involving our relationship with God. If we sin as believers we are to confess our sin (to God) and He forgives based on the blood of Christ. Even as believers who are forgiven, our closeness to God can be marred by sin. This is the remedy by which we can regain that closeness. God expects us to be no less forgiving with our brothers and sisters in Christ. Do we "have to forgive?" I don't know, but I do know that one who refuses to forgive probably has little to no understanding of the depravity of sin and the lengths to which God went to provide his/her forgiveness. Such a believer will have severe dealings with God.

What is forgiveness according to the bible?

Forgiveness is one of the basic things in Christianity and also every one should forgive each other and forget about the problem whatever it is. When we forgive others, God will forgive our sins. The Bible says that we have to forgive each other for 7 into 70 times, it means not only 490 times. Are you going to count till 490 times? Then what you are going to do? So the meaning of the verse is there is no end for forgiveness till Jesus' 2nd coming. Forgive and Forget!
