or:The Bible\u2019s answerGod will forgive your sins if you take the proper steps. The Bible says that God is \u201cready to forgive\u201d and that he \u201cwill forgive in a large way.\u201d (Nehemiah 9:17; Psalm 86:5; Isaiah 55:7) When he forgives us, he does so completely. Our sins are \u201cblotted out,\u201d or erased. (Acts 3:19) God also forgives permanently, for he says: \u201cI will no longer remember their sin.\u201d (Jeremiah 31:34) Once he forgives, he does not rehash our sins in order to accuse us or to punish us again and again.However, God\u2019s forgiveness is not based on weakness or sentimentality. He never bends his righteous standards. For this reason, he refuses to forgive some sins.\u2014Joshua 24:19, 20.Steps to gain God\u2019s forgivenessAcknowledge your sin as a violation of God\u2019s standards. While others may have been hurt by what you did, you must first recognize that your sin is an offense against God.\u2014Psalm 51:1, 4; Acts 24:16.Confess to God in prayer.\u2014Psalm 32:5; 1 John 1:9.Feel a deep sorrow for your sin. This \u201csadness in a godly way\u201d leads to repentance, or a change of heart. (2 Corinthians 7:10) It includes regret over the wrong steps that led to the sin.\u2014Matthew 5:27, 28.Change your course of action, that is, \u201cturn around.\u201d (Acts 3:19) This could mean that you avoid repeating a single wrong action or practice, or it could mean that you may have to change your whole way of thinking and acting.\u2014Ephesians 4:23, 24.Take steps to right the wrong or to repair the damage done. (Matthew 5:23, 24; 2 Corinthians 7:11) Apologize to those who suffered because of what you did or failed to do, and make restitution to the extent possible.\u2014Luke 19:7-10.Ask God in prayer for forgiveness on the basis of the ransom of Jesus. (Ephesians 1:7) For your prayer to be answered, you must forgive those who have sinned against you.\u2014Matthew 6:14, 15.If your sin is serious, speak to someone who is qualified to provide the spiritual help you need and who can pray in your behalf.\u2014James 5:14-16.Misconceptions about gaining God\u2019s forgiveness\u201cI have sinned too much to be forgiven.\u201dKing David is overwhelmed with emotion when God forgives him of adultery and murderGod forgave David of adultery and murderAs long as we follow the steps that God sets out in the Bible, we will be forgiven, since his capacity to forgive is greater than our sins. He can forgive serious sins as well as those that have been repeated many times.\u2014Proverbs 24:16; Isaiah 1:18.For example, King David of Israel was forgiven of adultery and murder. (2 Samuel 12:7-13) The apostle Paul, who felt that he had been the world\u2019s worst sinner, was also forgiven. (1 Timothy 1:15, 16) Even the first-century Jews whom God held responsible for killing Jesus, the Messiah, were forgiven if they changed their ways.\u2014Acts 3:15, 19.If you have further questions about this or anything dealing with life, please visit jw.org.
