WILL GOD FORGIVE ME?
I had a similitude of this chat with
a reader from Congo recently, and I hope it will help you too. Let me call his
name BR.
BR: pastor, can God forgive me?
Me: of course, when you ask Him, He
is faithful and just to forgive you.
BR: well, it’s because you don’t know
the atrocities that I’ve done, that’s why you easily said God will forgive me.
ME: there is no sin God can’t
forgive, but tell me about yours that made you think God won’t forgive you.
BR: I slept with my cousin (the guilt
of this one won’t go), I steal and hurt people and I go and view women when
they are taking their bath. God can’t forgive these things.
Me: God’s mercy is stronger than the
strength of our sins; there are no levels of sinfulness that the blood of Jesus
cant cleans. If you have in possession anything you’ve stole, just return them,
ask God for mercy over the incest you committed by sleeping with your cousin, I
will pray for you and break and negative curse it has brought on you, then ask
for forgiveness of all those you’ve hurt and you will be forgiven.
BR: how will I know, I’ve been
forgiven when I do these?
Me: God is looking for whom to
forgive my friend not whom to condemn, and when you do these then you just need
to trust the faithfulness of God to forgive you.
God is more prompt to forgive that
person that has sinned more than he that has no or less sins to be forgiven of.
There was a certain creditor which
had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. And when
they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which
of them will love him most? Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom
he forgave most. And he said unto him, thou hast rightly judged. Luke 7:41-43
God wants to forgive those that had
sinned much, if you’ve committed a terrible sin, remember God is more apt to
forgive you than those that think their sins are less.
God bless you
