Many people find it difficult to access forgiveness, some think they can not forgive because that only affects God. Others live torturing each other to forgive or live with that wound forever, because in a certain way we first receive forgiveness from God and then we can apply it to someone else.
Forgiveness is the path of mental and emotional spiritual liberation. The person who is truly liberated is the one who has been able to experience the freedom to be able to forgive.
Many people have the wrong idea about what it really means to forgive. However, forgiveness means apologizing to someone who has offended us or not taking into account their fault or simply passing on the fault.
¡Forgiveness is simply an expression of love!

It is important to emphasize that forgiveness is not a single act that is done and already, it is a continuous process that can be deepened and completed over time. That is why when we forgive we do not seek revenge or justice, the second step is to make positive behaviors towards that person that we have lacked.
Without God, forgiveness is an authentic barbarity. From his hand we will be able to forgive because love expects everything, everything can.
In that order of ideas I want to analyze those words spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ in the book of Matthew 18: 21-22
And Peter came to him and said, Lord, how many times will I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven?
Jesus said to him, "I do not tell you until seven, but even up to seventy times seven."

Numerology has always represented an important system in biblical interpretation and has also had a revealing relevance. Jesus was the best mathematician. Newton Galileo and Einsten recognized God as the perfect mathematician to exclaim that nature was written by God in a mathematical language.
In these verses indicated there is a number that has been the subject of discussion by many theologians and scholars of the Bible (7X70)
In these words Jesus was talking about forgiveness, relating it to exponential mathematics, that is, permutation. 7x70 = 490. In the words of Jesus: "I do not tell you up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven." which gives as a sum 490 times, but here is an enigma, because this takes the exponential mathematics becomes an infinite number.
For example in Hebrew 70 it is "ayin" which means the sum total of this world which means that the number 70 is an expression of "the sum total of this world". It means this "spiritual elevation" since this figure is raised to a power and is infinite, there is no limit to the number of times we must forgive.
70x70 = 490 and when you take it to the exponent, the value that appears is infinite.
70x7 only the brave will understand
There is no limit to forgive. Jesus when he looks at the heart of man does not put limirtes to forgiveness.
Forgiving 70 times seven means forgiving everything and everyone, from the smallest offense to death itself.
Forgiveness has a risk
Forgiveness is essential for our salvation and unforgiveness has very dangerous risks such as: increased anxiety, increased narcissism, increased psychosomatic, cardiac and depressive complications.
Forgiveness releases your mental and emotional energies and leads you to be happy and truly free.
