Greetings everyone, and welcome to my blog. It is another wonderful opportunity to listen to the word of God through His servant, Bro. Eli Soriano.
I have come to understand that forgiveness of sins plays a very significant role in my life. There have been many times when I made wrong choices and did things I am not proud of. Sometimes, I feel a deep heaviness in my heart because of those mistakes. Yet, I am grateful to God because He is always willing to forgive me whenever I approach Him with a sincere and humble heart.
The Bible reminds us in 1 John 1:9 that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This gives me hope, knowing that no matter what I have done, God’s mercy is always available to me.
There was a time in my life when I felt overwhelmed with guilt over something I had done. I was so ashamed that I struggled even to pray. But one day, I decided to open my heart fully to God and ask for His mercy. As I poured everything out to Him, I found myself in tears. After that moment of prayer, I felt a deep sense of peace, as though a heavy burden had been lifted from me. That experience reassured me that God truly forgives.
Forgiveness is more than just saying “I’m sorry.” It requires a genuine change of heart and a commitment to turn away from wrongdoing. As Proverbs 28:13 teaches, those who hide their sins will not prosper, but those who confess and abandon them will receive mercy. This encourages me to be honest with God and to truly repent.
I have also learned that just as God forgives me, I must also forgive others. This can be difficult at times, but it is what God expects from us. Ephesians 4:32 teaches us to be kind and compassionate, forgiving one another just as God forgave us through Christ.
Forgiveness brings peace, freedom, and a fresh start. I am thankful that God never grows tired of forgiving me whenever I genuinely repent.
Thanks for reading.
