From a Christian Standpoint: People from any nation can benefit from the ransom sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for all humanity.

Romans 5:18,19 "So, then, as through one trespass the result to men of all sorts was condemnation, so too through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is their being declared righteous for life. For just as through the disobedience of the one man many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one person many will be made righteous."

Acts 10:34,35 "At this Peter began to speak, and he said: "Now I truly understand that God is not partial, but in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him."

When is it ok not to forgive someone for doing the same thing over and over?

Ya, I can... and there are many cases for it. e.g. 1) In past, I might be wrong and didn't forgive someone; then I realized my fault. Now, I don't repeat my fault anymore. 2) This 'forgiving' may vary from person to person. It can happen that I didn't forgive someone for his/her doing, but I may forgive someone near-and-dear one for doing the same. 3) It may occur that in the past, someone did something wrong intentionally and so I didn't forgive him/her; but now if I see someone doing the same wrong thing unconsciously and unintentionally, and after finding own fault he/she has intention to be changed, then I'll forgive him.


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.


Why is difficult to forgive?

It is difficult to forgive because the person who did the wrong thing you are really mad at them and you think they don't deserve your forgiveness. But I am right now the person who is saying sorry to someone and they will not forgive me . Most people who are saying sorry are really saying it from the heart. If people didnt forgive it would be crazy. I couldn't think of what it would be like if Jesus didnt forgive us . No one would be going to heaven .... no one. My oppinon is to forgie the person you are fighting with. No one really wants to be in an a big fight..... God Bless


How did Jesus teach us how to forgive?

John 8.11 which tells the story of how Jesus saved from being stoned a woman caught in adultery and foregave her sins. This passage does not occur in any manuscript prior to the end of the fourth century and was probably first written around that time, based on beliefs then held by certain Christian communities. Luke 23.34 has Jesus cry from the cross, "Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing." This important passage does not appear in any of the other gospels, suggesting that it was Christian midrash, rather than the words of Jesus. At other times, Jesus ritually told those he healed that their sins were forgiven.
