The Lord's prayer : 'Forgive'

Matthew 6: '9-15 Forgive While the phrase "trespasses" is used in some versions, others use "debts". The key takeaway remains the same: seeking and extending forgiveness. Importance of Forgiveness: The Lord's Prayer highlights the significance of forgiveness as a core Christian principle. It encourages believers to seek forgiveness from God and to extend it to others, reflecting God's own merciful nature. Jesus taught, “If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you” (Mt 6:14). Peter asked Jesus how often it is necessary to forgive, and Jesus replied, “Seventy-seven times” (Mt 18:22), a number to be taken symbolically, not literally, for the never-ending way that we ought to forgive.
