Read 1 John 1-5
1 John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." This is one of the most wonderful verses in the Bible—this promise that God will always forgive and will forgive all. Sometimes we can get so caught up in wrong doing, we wonder if we’ll ever get out. Sin is a trap that we need help to escape from.
We can’t get this kind of deal from anywhere else. People we love and have hurt can forgive us wholeheartedly, but they can’t help but be changed by the experience we’ve put them through.
No matter how far down we’ve fallen, no matter how long we’ve been estranged from our Heavenly Father, there is forgiveness awaiting us. He won’t condemn us and He doesn’t make us clean ourselves up first. All He requires is our repentance.
