Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
God does not generally put a threshold neither should we. Now, it is true that a person can commit the unpardonable sin, according to the scriptures, but this is always after repeat offences and repeat forgiveness have been utterly exhausted. The “Three strikes and you’re out” type of forgiving trespasses is not how God deals with us, and since He is our Great exemplar in all things, we should be willing by His grace, to follow in His footsteps.
Another issue that must be taken into consideration when forming the habit of forgiving trespasses, is that it’s always preferable to give the benefit of the doubt. This can be quite difficult to do, without the help of The Holy Spirit for one might think that after several infractions against a particular person, the repeat offender would have gotten the message.
The fact is that in reality, a person might actually be struggling with some issue and they could be having difficulty in correcting their course of action. This is especially true when persons are trying to kick the drug habit, or trying to overcome other addictions. Kleptomania is one’s inability to resist the urges to steal items which he or she might not actually need, or that may have very little value.
Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
