‘If we
confess our sins, He (God) is faithful, and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness’ (1 John 1:9).
God
is Love (Divine Love) and it is His nature to forgive us. The above verse says, He is faithful and just to forgive us. Also He cleanses us from ALL our
unrighteousness. 1 John 1: 7 says, ‘but
if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from ALL SIN.’
Accept His forgiveness and walk in
the assurance of His forgiveness.
You
often hear people say, ‘I hate myself because I hurt someone badly.’ Some people say, ‘even God can not forgive
me.’ Never believe the lies of satan. You
should also forgive yourself when God is faithful to forgive you and
cleanse you from all your wrongs. His blood is sufficient to cleanse us
from all our sins, our unrighteousness.
God and His Word is True. Just
take advantage of His His grace and get cleansed by His blood and walk in the
assurance of His forgiveness. Never walk in guilt and condemnation.
Show
also mercy to those who wronged you since you have tasted His mercy and love. Don’t hold theirs wrongs against them. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 5: 19, ‘That
is that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing
their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of
reconciliation.’ God is neither
holding your trespasses against you nor the world’s. God said in Rom 12: 19-21, ‘beloved,
do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, ‘vengeance
is Mine, I will repay.’ Says the Lord. Therefore if your enemy is hungry feed him; if
he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap coals of fire on
his head. Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.’
