What does Jesus teach about how often we should forgive others?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus teaches we should forgive others without limit, exemplified in His response to Peter's question about the number of times one should forgive.

In Matthew 18:21-22, when Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive a brother who sins against him, expecting a limit, Jesus shockingly responds that he should forgive not just seven times, but seventy times seven. This signifies an attitude of continual forgiveness, reflecting the limitless nature of God's own forgiveness towards us. The teaching illustrates that as we comprehend the vastness of our own forgiveness from God, we will naturally extend that same grace to others, underscoring the importance of an unwavering spirit of forgiveness in our daily lives as believers.
