Seeking Forgiveness

[Jennifer K Harvey]

As Christians should we go and seek forgiveness from everyone we sinned against or are those scriptures only between other believers?

That is Matt 16 - and it deals with the church - hurt feelings , broken unity etc where the two individuals know that the the one who did wrong - has done wrong. But in general you should do that also for anyone you have knowingly wronged where they also know you did them wrong.

But if you "thought" something wrong about someone are some other event happened where informing them of the wrong only makes their life worse or makes the wrong more devastating - then don't share just to make yourself feel better when sharing hurts the other person even more.

Welcome to CF. The Holy Spirit will guild you to repentance and He will also guild you into restitution. This will help both you and the afflicted. He will give you the courage and strength you need.
Blessings.
