How Can I Be Forgiven?

  1. Understand God's Holiness

    2. Hab 1:13- You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness.
    Ps 100:3- Know that the LORD, He is God: it is He that has made us, and not we ourselves;
    As our Creator and Sustainer, God has dominion and authority over us, and will hold us accountable for His requirement of righteousness as outlined in the Ten Commandments.


  2. Recognize Your Sinfulness

    3. Rom 3:10-12, 23- As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
    Rom 6:23a- For the wages of sin is death…
    Because of our sinful nature, we all are dead in our sin and cannot deliver ourselves- we have violated God's Law and justice and face His wrath. We must realize that we are guilty, we do deserve His punishment, and we need His mercy and pardon.


  3. Believe Christ's Sacrifice

    4. Rom 6:23b- but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    2 Cor 5:21- For He (the Father) has made Him (Son) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
    The only solution to our problem is God Himself paying the price- because sin has to be paid for by death, God sacrificed His own Son so that He could accept those who are covered by Jesus' blood.


  4. Receive God's Forgiveness

    5. Rom 10:9- if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved;
    John 1:12- But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:
    God offers His forgiveness to those who approach Him humbly, being willing to turn from their sinful insistence on ruling their own lives, and trusting God's promise that in Christ there is deliverance. When one cries out to God in faith believing that Jesus is the risen Lord and Saviour he is born into the family of God and becomes a new creature.
