Myth- Few people wont correct themselves no matter how many times we forgive them and give chance to them to be our friends and acquaintances and relations. They keep doing wrong against us, misbehave with us, mis-handle us ill treat us, hurt us etc. We should not give second chances to such people, because they don't deserve them.
Faith- Actually no human being is worthy of a second chance. Sin in his body needs to be punished in his body, for the wages of sin is death. But God out of his love, sent his only begotten son to this world as JESUS to bore the sin of mankind, to bear the punishment of our sin in His body Isaiah 53:5. Jesus took the sin of every human being on himself, died on cross and resurrected to forgive mankind and gave second chance to live. And Jesus said we should forgive others seventy times seven mathew 18:22... meaning we should forgive a person endlessly, how many times he does the sin, those many times we need to forgive, or simply we should bear the persons weaknesses forever. If we are forgiving, we are giving second chance. Forgiveness is an unmerited favour, which is given to the one who is not worthy of it. We Christians, having received forgiveness should forgive or should be able to forgive others who wrong us, unknowingly or wantedly (Mathew18:21-35). This is the deepest meaning of Christianity.
