True Christians- though they may fall or fail at times, they do not seek to continue in any sin, they learn, they repent, they move forward- positively. Having forgiven, having been forgiven- God no longer remembers any of our tresspasses- therefore- if we seek to recall wrongs against us or God- wrongs that are not being repeated- then we do not forgive- God neither forgives us. Wrongs repeated are different, Proverbs 17:9 He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. And true, love is not conditional, it keeps no record of wrongs- Being with the right person in marriage also means that an individual consciously repents, walks away from any trespass, and respects their spouse. That respect, and fear of offending God is meant to eliminate future failures, and to usher in love and fulfillment.
It means that the mind does not keep an account of wrongs against it but continues to love under all circumstance. Such a mind cannot possibly withhold its love. Love cannot be love and be conditional. Since love experiences no offence there is nothing it has to forgive. The mind that keeps an account of wrongs against it, does so because it is offended by the wrongs. This mind is not one of love but one of law. The mind of law has to be appeased. Appeasement comes either on the condition of the offender seeking forgivenss, or the mind of law offering forgivenss, without conditions. Either way what the mind of law has to do is to choose between allowing the offence to remain indefinitely, or allowing it to be removed.
Okay, this makes sense, but I wonder... I had a person that touched me against my will and crossed boundaries. Now should I accept this person back into my life or speak to them even tho they are not repentant for their behaviour? How can I possibly love myself if I allow myself to be abused and allow abusers back into my life?
This is selfabuse. In no way should we allow others to trample over us without speaking up. Where do boundaries come into play? Any scriptures about boundaries? And even Jesus said "cursed is the man who sells out the son of man it would have been better for him to not be born". How is that not being angry with a fellow believer? I feel like these teachings make me a subject to abuse and to selfabandonment.
Absolutely have healthy boundaries. Christ has boundaries If someone is harming you forgive but remove yourself and work on healing try not to keep putting your mind on the wrongs but release it. I am a work in progress God bless ❤️🩹

@@zion367no you shouldn’t forgive and try to move forward you should not put yourself in harm physically or mentally
But if no wrongs are recorded. Then it is blind to evil. Which love does not tolerate. How?

The betrayer of Jesus was not a true believer or disciple of Christ.
