You may ask myself this question many times and sometimes, you could end up saying that it is impossible for God to forgive you. This is usually because you feel like what you have done is so awful that God will never look down from His throne and forgive you for that. On the bright side, going closer to God, reading your Bible and praying make you to see that God cares for you and He truly desires to have a good relationship as father to child.
Like Dorcas' salvation story, God always prepares a life of sudden transformation for us. i felt bad within myself,and was scared that i can't be forgiven.Truly you might have felt this way before, that God can't forgive you for your sins but the truth is; God loves you and cares about you. In 1 john 1:9, He (God) already says that if we could confess with our mouth our sins, that he is faithful to forgive us. but while do will still feel this way?
The Devil is using this to make us feel this way, because he knows that when we feel like that, we will not be of the assurance that God has truly forgiven us.I want you to know that God is faithful and Just, he is not a man that he should lie neither is he a son of man that he should repent. God keeps his promises and he exhorts is word more than his name, therefor he will forgive us.
Let us not be carried away with the fact that God will always forgive us when we sin, but let's hold on firmly to the word of Christ that we are righteous and holy as Christ is. Pray to God that he should help you move from reading his word to doing His word and moving to perfection. Learn to desire for the milk of the word, therein which we grow.
What do you think about forgiveness? Can you forgive when the offense is a big one? Sometimes it is hard to forgive, while others say so, people still believe that to forgive is not easy and it is not compulsory to forgive. but that is not the case for Christians, because we have been commanded to forgive.
What is Forgiveness?
According to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Forgiveness is the ability 'to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense". This means that forgiveness is letting go of the wrongs someone has done to you. When Paul ask Jesus Christ how many times they can forgive, Jesus Christ answered that they should forgive 7 times 77 times (Matthew 18:22).
