Quotes about Forgiveness

Most important of all, individual believers can experience the power of the risen Christ in their lives today. First of all, they can know that their sins are forgiven (see Luke 24:46-47; 1 Corinthians 15:3). Second, they can be assured of eternal life and their own resurrection from the grave (see 1 Corinthians 15:19-26). Third, they can be released from a meaningless and empty life and be transformed into new creatures in Jesus Christ (see John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

And if someone resists the Holy Spirit's conviction of sin and refuses to accept Jesus' sacrifice as God's righteousness, how can he or she be forgiven? Without agreeing with the Holy Spirit regarding sin and Jesus' offering for sin, forgiveness can never be granted. Therefore it is the unforgivable sin.

If we reject the convicting agent of the Holy Spirit and keep on deliberately sinning we simply can't obtain forgiveness.

Sometime we get so addicted to murmuring about the past and blaming the past for everything that we miss our whole future. You're not going to enjoy your future, and you're not going to enjoy your right now, if all you can do is be guilty and ashamed and afraid of your past.

When someone gives you offense, it doesn't mean you have to take it.

I always asked for forgiveness for my sins right away but I never accepted it until I felt right that I had suffered enough to pay for it. God revealed to me what I was doing how much unnecessary pain I was causing myself. He even showed me that what I was doing was an insult to Jesus that in essence I was saying Lord the sacrifice of Your life and blood was good but not good enough. I must add my work of feeling guilty before I can be forgiven.
