4 Questions about Forgiveness
How is forgiveness possible?
During the last week of Jesus’s life, He took upon Himself the sins of the world in a sacrifice that began in the Garden of Gethsemane and continued on the cross. He suffered greatly, feeling the weight of every sin and the pain of every person who would ever live. He chose to pay the price for our offenses, knowing that we could not pay that debt on our own. Because of His sacrifice, we can find forgiveness if we turn to Him in humility and repent.
What does it mean to repent?
Repentance is much more than recognizing wrongdoings or saying we are sorry. It is a change of mind and heart that includes turning away from sin and turning to Jesus for help and forgiveness. As you repent, He can give you the strength you need to overcome any shortcomings and become better.
Can all sins be forgiven?
Jesus paid the price for every sin. You may have felt that your sins are too serious or that you have made the same mistake too many times. But no matter how many times you have sinned, you can repent and be forgiven (see Mosiah 26:30). Some sins may be easier to correct than others, but ultimately Jesus is eager to forgive.
What are the blessings of forgiveness?
If you have sinned, you may carry with you a heavy burden of guilt, shame, and sorrow. However, when you fully repent, Jesus will take that weight from you. If you turn to Him, Jesus can heal your wounded heart and help you forgive yourself and others. You can find relief, peace, joy, and freedom as you strive to stay clean and follow His teachings.
