the 7th way to hinder covenant is to not forgive people. In Matt. 6:12-14 both verses show a two thing with God. that as we forgive we shall be forgiven. If not forgiven because not forgive we won't be blessed. here is two unique passages from bible that are enlightening.
1 Sam. 24:8-10 we see David forgives Saul even to the sparing of his life. Saul could have killed David before that. God was in control so David was always protected. Now look at 2 Sam. 12:13 Just as David is rebuked for his sin, He is repentant. God lets him know that he is forgiven. He is rewarded with mercy perhaps the past is the key. He was merciful to Saul. God is always forgiving us. We can do the same. Rom. 8 says all things work together for the good.
Joseph in Gen. 50 forgives his brothers who would kill him. Both David and Joseph were not killed though. On the other hand Jesus was killed and orgave while on the cross.
