Forgiveness
Feeling Unloved By God Because of Your Sin
Isaiah 43:25. If you repent of your sins, there is no reason to feel unloved by God or anyone else. You may have committed adultery or lied to someone, but God still loves you. God forgives you the first time you repent of your sins. (Isaiah 43:25, “I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins”).
Seeking God Through Prayer Is Spiritual Warfare
2 Chronicles 7:14. Once we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, prayer is the primary way for us to maintain the mind of Christ. Prayer is a demonstration of our faith in God and is the main way for us to conduct spiritual warfare. In order to conduct spiritual warfare we place our focus on God and not His enemies.
The Power Of Belief Turns Us Away From The Power Of Darkness
Acts 26:18. It is natural for us to turn toward the light if our eyes are open, but many of us when it comes to God keep our eyes closed. This is what happens to many non-believers that continue in sin. They are not willing to open their eyes to the light of God and they stay within the power of Satan.
Forgive as God Forgives
Jesus forgives all of us that repents of their sin. God expects us to forgive people as He forgave us (2 Corinthians 2:10, “To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; “).
For With Repentedness Comes Forgiveness
Luke 17:4. One of the hardest things in coping with adultery is to actually forgive the marriage partner that has committed the adulterous act. The Bible tells us that if someone repents, we are suppose to forgive them.
Cleanse Us From Our Sin and All Unrighteousness
1 John 1:9. If we choose not to confess sins and not accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we cannot have a loving relationship with God. It does not matter to God why we choose not to confess our sins, be it out of ignorance, self-righteousness, or just a continuous desire to sin and be disobedient to God. God requires our total surrender to Him.
Unforgiveness Causes A Bad Relationship
Ephesians 4:32. Another thing that causes a bad relationship is unforgiveness. Unforgiveness brings strife into a relationship. If we think someone has done us wrong, our natural tendency is to become bitter, angry, talk about, and even desire to hurt the other person. From a Christian perspective, the problem is not that the other person did you wrong, it is our unforgiveness.
