Subject: Sins Forgiven |
Bible Note: Hello CDBJ, I believe by asking God for forgiveness I am acknowledging Him as the only way to receive it. Matthew 6:12 And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Is this not asking Him for forgiveness? I think that some who confess their sin are not sincere. When we offend someone don't we ask, if we are sincere, to forgive us? So why would we not ask God the same thing? There must be more to be learned by confessing our sin lest we repeat it again. We must completely understand it in order to overcome it. Why then if I have confessed a sin and been forgiven it would I later be convicted so deeply of the seriousness of that sin? I believe that God is teaching me something greater and He leads me into a deeper understanding. Matthew 6:15 But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. So how can we assume that by confessing our sin and if we have not forgiven someone that we can be forgiven? We can't, so I say confess and ask for forgiveness and if there is something I need to do then God shows me what I may refuse to see. God bless. |
