will God forgive me?

  Will God ever forgive me? I have ask myself this question time without number and sometimes, i end up saying "NO" because i felt like what i did is so awful that God will never look down from his throne and say he will forgive me for that. Fortunately for me, going closer to God, reading my Bible and praying too, i have come to see that God cares for us and he want to have a good relationship as father to son will always want to have.

There was a time some group of people and myself are to present a Drama in my Church, and in that Drama i was gonna end up a pastor, raising the death and healing the sick. Something funny happened a day before the drama was to be presented, you all should know what happened, i committed a sin.knowing fully well that i will be a pastor tomorrow,

will God forgive me?
 i felt bad within myself,and was scared that i can't be forgiven.Truly you might have felt this way before, that God can't forgive you for your sins but the truth is; God loves you and cares about you.

(1 john 1:9)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

he (God) already says that if we could confess with our mouth our sins, that he is faithful to forgive us. but while do will still feel this way?

The Devil is using this to make us feel this way, because he knows that when we feel like that, we will not be of the assurance that God has truly forgiven us.I want you to know that God is faithful and Just, he is not a man that he should lie neither is he a son of man that he should repent. God keeps his promises and he exhorts is word more than his name, therefor he will forgive us.

Let us not be carried away with the fact that God will always forgive us when we sin, but lets hold on firmly to the word of christ that we should strive to be holy as the father in heaven is holy, pray to God that he should help you move from reading his word to doing his word and moving to perfection.

Learn to desire for the milk of the word, therein which we grow.

Forgiveness

What do you think about forgiveness, is it good for someone to forgive when the offense is  too very offensive. sometimes it is hard to forgive, while others say so, people still believe that to forgive is not easy and it is not compulsory to forgive. but that is not the case for Christians, because  we have been commanded to forgive. 

 What is Forgiveness?
according to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, is 'to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt'.
in a Lame man term, forgiveness is letting go of the wrongs someone has done to you.

    When Paul ask Jesus Christ how many times they can forgive, Jesus Christ answered that they should forgive 7 times 77 times (Matthew 18:22).

Scriptures on forgiveness 

Wash me thoroughly [and repeatedly] from my iniquity and guilt and cleanse me and make me wholly pure from my sin!  psalm 51:2

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spiritpsalm 51: 10-12

If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land  2 chronicles 10:14

I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide. I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord [continually unfolding the past till all is told]--then You [instantly] forgave me the guilt and iniquity of my sin psalm 32:5

  And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. (34) And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garmentsLuke 23:33-34 

   We need to forgive one another for that is the command of God. the bible says we need to be holy just has the father is holy, and the father is all merciful and all forgiving God.
