To forgive is to forget
This is the rule for forgiveness. How do we forget completely about a wrong to us or our loved ones?
This is how forgiveness works:
Once forgiven, we may never ever bring up the subject again. as an example or thrown in someones face.
Example: Let's say a spouse cheats on their other half, regrets it, admits to it and asks for forgiveness.
The other half grants that forgiveness and will no longer bring it up. Even as a reminder, or example, or a told you so, etc.
However, the mind will probably remember it, the tongue should never speak of it.
ASKING FORGIVENESS: Look this up and you will see the truth. When someone asks you for forgiveness; this means the person is willing to accept the consequence of their wrong doing.
A criminal who asks for forgiveness from their victim in court, is admitting guilt and accepting punishment befitting the crime.
Murderer is given death in return and if truly sorry is willing to be executed for the murder.
Same results with apologies, which are the same thing as asking forgiveness.
Next time someone says to you, "Oh, I am sorry for breaking your stereo."
You have the right to reply, "Okay, I'll accept that apology and you will give me double it's value in return."
The one who is sorry should be willing to accept double value consequence, or they are not truly sorry at all.
That is the Law of God, handed down from Moses and still very much a viable due process, even in modern society.
