Luk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
And if he repent; if he is made sensible of his evil, and is truly sorry for it, and ingenuously acknowledges it:
forgive him; the injury committed against a man's self; and pray to God for him, for an application of his pardoning grace and mercy to him; and comfort him with the hope of forgiveness with God, by the gracious promises and declarations of pardon made to such persons; drop all resentment and anger, and behave towards him with all sweetness of temper, and affability, and respect: and this is to be done immediately, as soon as a man repents.

Lets look at what it is to forgive some one.
Mat 18:21 Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" This was twice the number of times that the custom of that day offered forgiveness, so how many times do we forgive some one?

1 Jn. 1:7 Tells us that if we walk in the light ( this means to be a Christian, not just a good person). Jesus can only cleanse us when we come in contact with his blood. To do that we have to have our sins washed away. Baptism is the only way to be wash away our sins. 1:8 The only person to live without sin was Jesus. 1:9 If we have become a Christian we can ask for forgiveness and He will forgive us and never hold it against us again.
