Are You Forgiven? Will You Forgive?Forgiveness is granted by confession! NeedEncouragement.com

Please contact us if you have questions or comments or want encouragement.

Have you ever wondered if another person forgave you? If you confess your sin to God, He is faithful to forgive. We can never know 100% if another person will forgive us. We need to remember that people are only human with human emotions. Communication is so important when it comes to being forgiven. The offender needs to ask for forgiveness by admitting their wrong. It is equally important for the victim to accept the apology. A scripture that reinforces the need for forgiveness is Matthew 6:15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

People can speak words, but what do their actions say? When we have done something wrong to someone else, all we can do is ask for forgiveness, and hopefully, it will be given to us. Sometimes people have hardened hearts and refuse to forgive, but when we confess our sins to God, HE WILL FORGIVE US, which is more important than forgiving others whose hearts have been hardened. Keep in mind that the devil will want you to have you think that you are not forgiven when you ask God for forgiveness. Do not allow your feelings to interfere with the knowledge and fact that when God has forgiven you, you are forgiven without a doubt in your mind or heart. ~ Bill Greguska

Learn How You Can Be A Forgiven Christian: 

  1. Admit you are a sinner in need of God’s grace.
  2. Believe that Jesus Christ died for you and all your past, present, and future sins.
  3. Confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior.
  4. Do as the Bible teaches to your best ability, and practice your faith in everyday life.
Christians are human, and we do sin. Christians are not sinless, but since they have committed our lives to God, we are prone to sin less. 

Will God Forgive You? I Know He Has Forgiven Me!

 

Forgiveness And Eternal Life Are Both Free!

Forgiveness is to cancel a debt someone owes you! Have you been forgiven the last time you offended someone? We can do nothing to earn forgiveness except confess it to God and the other person. You might never know that person has forgiven you, but admitting to God removes the doubt.
