Your Question:
Can God really forgive me for my mistakes?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with the idea of God's forgiveness. They may feel like they've made too many mistakes or that their sins are too great for God to forgive. But the truth is, God's forgiveness is not based on our worthiness, but on His love and mercy. The Bible says, "The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). This means that no matter what we've done, God will forgive us. It's not just about what we've done, but about who we are in Christ. When we put our faith in Jesus, we become children of God, and our sins are forgiven. It's not something we earn or deserve, but a gift that God gives us through His Son. As the Bible says, "If I, an Old Testament psalmist who hasn't seen the coming of Jesus, can speak with this kind of hope, how much more can you, who have witnessed the cross—the unmistakable evidence of forgiveness of sins?" (Matthew 65). So, can God really forgive me for my mistakes? The answer is yes. God's forgiveness is not just a possibility, but a promise. He wants to forgive us, not because we're worthy, but because He loves us. And when we confess our sins and ask for forgiveness, He promises to forgive us. As Jesus said, "Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses" (Matthew 6:14-15).
