Learn the Right Way to Forgive

September 26, 2026

The right way to forgive requires a systematic alignment of personal volition, spiritual mandates, and psychological boundaries. True forgiveness is an act of releasing a debtor from the spiritual or relational penalty of their offense, modeled directly after divine grace, while distinguishing the internal release of resentment from the external rebuilding of relational trust.

KJV Scripture Reference Table

The King James Version (KJV) establishes clear pillars for biblical forgiveness, defining its frequency, motivation, and vertical dependency.

Scripture Reference	Core Mandate	Spiritual/Relational Mechanism
Matthew 6:14-15	Conditional Reciprocity	Human forgiveness of others is tied directly to experiencing divine forgiveness from God.
Ephesians 4:32	The Ultimate Blueprint	Forgiveness must be kind and tenderhearted, modeled directly on how God for Christ’s sake forgave you.
Matthew 18:21-22	Infinite Frequency	Forgiveness is not constrained by legalistic limits (seventeen times seven), but must be unceasing.
Colossians 3:13	Forbearing Endurance	Believers are commanded to quarrel-proof their relationships by actively choosing to “forgive one another.”
Mark 11:25	Immediate Resolution	Forgiveness must be extended actively while standing in prayer, preventing bitterness from taking root.
Luke 17:3-4	Confrontation & Repentance	If a brother trespasses, rebuke him; if he repents, the relational release must be granted immediately.

10 Concrete Examples of Forgiveness

The Ultimate Benchmark: Jesus Christ interceding for His executioners on the cross, praying, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).
The Patriarchal Reconciliation: Joseph forgiving his brothers after years of betrayal and slavery, declaring that what they meant for evil, God meant for good (Genesis 50:20).
The First Christian Martyr: Stephen crying out under a barrage of stones, “Lord, lay not this sin to their charge” (Acts 7:60).
The Restored Runaway: Philemon receiving his fugitive enslaved servant, Onesimus, back as a beloved brother in Christ due to Paul’s intercession.
The Prodigal’s Reception: The father running to embrace his errant son, celebrating his return rather than demanding legalistic restitution (Luke 15).
The Kingly Grace: David refusing to kill King Saul in the cave, choosing instead to spare his persecutor and leave justice to God.
The Post-Resurrection Restoration: Jesus cooking breakfast for Peter and reinstating him after Peter’s explicit threefold denial.
The Parable of the Debtors: The unmerciful servant being exposed for failing to extend the same massive financial pardon he had just received from his master.
The Publican’s Humility: The tax collector beating his chest, pleading for mercy, and finding justification through immediate divine absolution.
The Unified Community: The early church in Corinth being instructed to comfort and restore an disciplined believer so that he wouldn’t be swallowed up by overmuch sorrow (2 Corinthians 2:7).

Myers-Briggs (MBTI) Analyst Report

An analysis of forgiveness across cognitive frameworks reveals stark behavioral variations based on personality axes:

NF (Intuitive Feelers – INFJ, INFP, ENFJ, ENFP): View forgiveness as an absolute, existential mandate for harmony. They struggle deeply with the internal emotional fracture caused by betrayal but seek cosmic and relational healing. Their primary pitfall is premature or idealized forgiveness, sometimes bypassing safety boundaries to restore a false sense of peace.
NT (Intuitive Thinkers – INTJ, INTP, ENTJ, ENTP): Process forgiveness as a logical equation or transaction. For an NT, forgiveness means neutralizing the emotional variable to ensure personal and intellectual operational efficiency. They rarely hold visceral grudges, but they will instantly categorize an untrustworthy individual as a permanent liability, cleanly severing relational ties.
SJ (Sensing Judgers – ISTJ, ISFJ, ESTJ, ESFJ): Tie forgiveness strictly to established protocols, duty, and institutional frameworks. They look to explicit codes (like scripture or social norms) to dictate when and how to forgive. They require tangible proof of behavior change to confidently re-establish interpersonal order.
SP (Sensing Perceivers – ISTP, ISFP, ESTP, ESFP): Treat forgiveness with pragmatic immediacy. Living primarily in the present moment, SPs prefer to drop the baggage quickly so they can move forward without being bogged down by past constraints. They naturally lean toward an uninhibited “clean slate” approach if the present environment feels secure.

John MacArthur Analyst Report

Theological Framework: Expository, Reformed, Sovereign Grace

John MacArthur evaluates forgiveness through a strictly Christocentric, judicial lens. MacArthur asserts that human forgiveness is not a therapeutic tool for self-help, but a profound theological duty. He highlights that:

Forgiveness is an unconditional command: The believer has been forgiven an unpayable spiritual debt by God; therefore, withholding forgiveness from a fellow human is supreme hypocrisy.
Distinction between Forgiveness and Trust: While the heart must instantly forgive an offender to eliminate bitterness, trust is not a mandatory byproduct of forgiveness. Trust is a competency that must be earned back incrementally through verifiable, fruit-bearing repentance over time.

Jordan Peterson Analyst Report

Theological Framework: Psychological, Archetypal, Existential

Jordan Peterson approaches forgiveness as a defense mechanism against ideological and psychological chaos. From his perspective:

Resentment is a toxic poison: Failing to forgive breeds resentment, which quickly mutates into malevolence, bitterness, and a desire to see the world burn.
Forgiveness requires radical strength, not weakness: Peterson stresses that true forgiveness is not “turning a blind eye” or pretending an offense did not happen. It requires looking directly into the mouth of the dragon, acknowledging the explicit capability of human evil, and consciously choosing not to perpetuate the cycle of vengeance. It is an act of voluntary courage that stabilizes the moral order.

Paul Washer Analyst Report

Theological Framework: Radical Discipleship, Heart-Searching Puritanism

Paul Washer evaluates forgiveness through the lens of authentic regeneration and absolute brokenness. Washer warns against easy, superficial formulas:

A reflection of the New Birth: If a person claims to be a follower of Christ yet harbors an ongoing, unyielding, and vindictive spirit toward others, Washer questions whether that individual has ever truly experienced the terrifying, soul-crushing weight of their own sin against a Holy God.
The Mark of the True Believer: True forgiveness springs from a heart broken by its own flaws. When you realize you have been rescued from eternal damnation by unmerited favor, your pride is shattered, making it impossible to haughtily look down upon and deny mercy to those who have wounded you.

Greg Schad Analyst Report

Theological Framework: Clinical Christian Counseling & Family Systems

As a licensed independent social worker and marriage therapist, Greg Schad analyzes forgiveness through the practical application of emotional health within relational systems. From his clinical framework at Crossroads Counseling Group:

Processing vs. Spiritual Bypassing: Schad warns against “cheap forgiveness”—declaring a matter resolved before the emotional damage, trauma, and grief have been genuinely processed. Forgiveness is a conscious path that often requires time, emotional vocabulary, and therapeutic boundaries to navigate safely.
Systemic Boundaries: Forgiving an abusive or unrepentant individual does not mean exposing oneself or one’s family to ongoing harm. Schad emphasizes integrating biblical directives with psychological safety, ensuring that personal boundaries protect the soul from fragmentation while maintaining a heart free from toxic animosity.

Father God, Let Your Will Be Done, Not My Will mademanministries

This is a major important point about forgiveness

Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. -MATTHEW 5:24 KJV

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?

I would start out by saying what Jesus Christ would want us to do? Pray and how should we pray? The Lord’s Prayer, and how often should we pray? Continually. Why do we use the Lord’s Prayer and not some other? The Lord’s Prayer covers all the areas that is important for our spiritual being.

When we pray the Lords prayer we ask to forgive our enemies, let God’s will be done, the kingdom to come. By praying the Lord’s prayer we let go of many thoughts we have in our head and give them back to God so we can have things revealed to us.

We must overcome resentment in our heart, and in a past video I shared about Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about how resentment can destroy us and we become our own very worst enemy and Jordan goes on to say that we must talk to people what we have resentment toward to overcome that resentment. Other people who lived in the past who talked about this is Jesus Christ and someone who is living now who talks about this daily is Brother Augustine, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Rev. John Piper and Pastor Paul Washer.

Women are looking for a fathers love

Women are looking for a fathers love. Its important that men understand women are looking for a fathers love and not get screwed. Woman more than anything are looking for a strong spiritual man to lead the future (the family). I think in many YouTube videos on biblical teachings, how young women are being hurt by men that are just looking to get laid instead of doing right and being in Christ and setting a good example of a strong man. We must be in Christ, hate no one, love all, forgave theses we resent, love what is right and support people who are walking with God.

Women need their fathers in their lives to be strong man to be good examples and not BETA men or weak examples of what a man should be. Its important that a man leads the way as Christ leads men, we as man need to fellow Jesus Christ to keep society from going to HELL.

Every day you can see or people watch how some men and women our living in hell without the right spiritual order then you will continue your hellish way according to 2 Peter. You can also find it in Romans. God will give you over to a reprobate mind.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – Romans 1:28 (KJV)

In Romans 1, Paul refers to something known as a reprobate mind. If you’re not familiar with the term reprobate, the literal definition in the Greek is failing to pass the test, unapproved, counterfeit.

Spiritual Order – In The Family and Church

God the father

Jesus Christ

Father (Men over women)

Mother (Women over children)

Here is Book, Chapter and Verse from the Kings James Version 1 Corinthian 11:2-16, But the main message is in 1 Corinthian 11:3: “³But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

How God Commands Us To Forgive Those Who We Have Resentment Toward.

All of us are tested everyday by our personal internal struggle coming from resentment of what happened earlier in our lives as children typically what our mother did to us, telling how our fathers were not good enough or driving us away from our fathers when we were children. We most go to the people that we have resentment against and forgive them. By forgiving our mothers or whoever we have resentment against, God will forgive us and we can return to the heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

It was said if you don’t love everyone then you love no one. People today live like the Old Testament people did. We must forgive and love everyone as God Commanded us to do according to Matthew 22:34-40.

After Reading The Passage I would Recommend Doing A Silent Prayer

Its is said: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 King James Version (KJV)

In a world where it is so easy to forget the importance of God, we must remember that He is holy and will not share His glory. America has forgotten this truth and it is time for us to re-examine our relationship with God and recognize that He is the one true God who deserves our full devotion and reverence. We must remember that He will not be taken lightly or ignored, but rather should be honored as the Creator of all things. Only then can we truly experience His love and grace in our lives.
