can you be forgiven of your sins?

Of course. Just confess your sins to God, remember that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins. He then arose and that act made him defeat death. So all we have to do now is confess our sins and accept that sacrifice He made for us, and ask Him to come live in us. That way he forgives us and we become a new person!

Once you repent and ask God to forgive you of something, you are forgiven. Not only does he forgive you, he also remembers it no more. So you need not worry about that. However when you sin there are still consequences. For example if you drink and use drugs for a long time, you may damage your body, or if you mess up financially, you may find yourself stuck in debt. Or if you offend someone, there's still a damaged relationship to be dealt with. You will still have to deal with the consequences even though you are forgiven. But take heart, God doesn't leave you to deal with them on your own. He stays with you and heals you, weather it takes a long time or a little, he does take care of us.\n\nAs for the desires of your heart, God knows better than you do what you want, what you need, and what will benefit you. Of course he wants you to pray and make your requests known, but that doesn't mena he'll always give you what you want when you want it. Again, He knows best. He may not give you what you want because he knows it's not the best thing for you. Or perhaps the timing is not right, and he will give you what you want at the best time (later). It may also be that he wants to teach you to wait on him and trust him.\n\nIn any case, just trust him. He is your father and he loves you more than you will ever imagine. He also sees all things. He knows everything that will happen to you in your life and he truly knows what's best. Also rest assurred he has forgiven you of everything you've repented for. You need only repent once for a sin and it is completely forgotten by Him. So forgive yourself. God has forgiven you, and those past sins will never count against you.

Everyone is a sinner but if they ask for forgiveness from God they are set free. Not all sins are the same, some like shoplifting do minor damage to people while murder ruins entire families. Also the consequences are much greater, but God will forgive any sin if we just confess them and ask for forgiveness. When you have a personal relationship with Jesus you don't want to sin, you still do but you learn from them, and try not to do them again.

yes and yes\n\nyou cannot hold on to your sin and and Christ. You cannot serve God and mammon (other gods). which is anything that takes priority over God. All need to turn from sin that's repent = 180 degree turn.\n1Cor 6:9-11Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor *homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.\n\nMessenger

God can and will forgive you.  The only reference that I have found in the bible to an unforgivable sin is for Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost. And God could even forgive you for doing that if it was done in ignorance and not for malice. Pray, the bible says "All who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Good luck with your new faith, I will remember you in my prayers.

Ask JESUS to forgive you of all your sins and ask him to take away your burdons.  Get into a Bible based church and read your bible.

God will forgive if you truly repent for what you've done. True repenence means you agree with God that your sin was wrong and you turn from and forsake that sin. As long as we are in this world we will have a sin nature. Being saved doesn't mean that you won't sin. it just means you are forgiven through the blood of Jesus. But sin does have a consequence. Be sure God is not mocked for whatever a man soweth that he shall also reap. You cannot play around and fool God. He is omnipresent, and omniscient. He knows who is truly sincere and who is not. If you are a true born again Christian and have accepted Jesus as you Savior, then you are adopted into the family of God. You are then His child. Make no mistake...just as sure as an earthly Father corrects his children, even so does you Heavenly Father. You do not want to take God lightly.

you mean accept Jesus Christ as their savior and TRULY repent from their perverted ways, yes?\n\nThen I WOULD forgive them.\nI'm not saying right away.. but I'll try as hard as I can to let go. \n\nJesus said, "If you cannot forgive people that have wronged you, then how you expect God to forgive your sin?"\n\nYou see, if we view everything from our own eyes, it is very hard to do the will of Christ.\nWe feel that we are better than the murderer or rapist.\nbut, the fact is we are not.\nSin is equal in the eye of God...\n\nWhen we lie, cheat, steal, commit an adultery, we are all accounted as sinner in front of God.\n\nIf you expect to be forgiven by God of ALL your sin, then you should be able to forgive those so called murderer and rapist.\n\nSaying that you won't forgive them is basically repeating the role of Pharisee in the bible.\n\nThe so called "holy" men refused to pardon a tax collector, a whore, and so on.\n\nDo you know God gave christ to us so that we can follow His ways? Do you realize that Christ forgave a criminal on the day of His death?\n\nIn human ways, I, too cannot forgive murderers and Rapists.\nBut, I have the Holy spirit in me that enable me to do so.\n\n\nPlease be warned though "Forgiveness" is thru grace (as we received forgiveness from the Lord thru His mercy).\n\n"Trust," however, is something that we need to earn.\nSo, after I forgive those, they need to earn my trust be4 I will allow them to be near me and my family.

Not all things come back to you.  Life is not a story book were all the villians are punished.  That said, what may happen is that your deed is remembered and another person will suffer for it, because they won't be trusted.\n\nYou wrote "there is no way I can apologize". You can apologize, but what you are afraid of is that there is no guarentee you will be forgiven.  That's a chance you ought to take, not only for your sake, but for the sake of the person you wronged.\n\nThe word "Forgiveness" comes from a Greek word which means "to let go".  To let go...of the past, the anger, and whatever else is involved.  Perhaps,....just perhaps...you will have a chance to experience what forgiveness means on a deeper level. \n\n Take the chance.  Apologize.

Jesus died on the cross for every one of your sins. There is no sin bigger than another. One can gossip & another can kill someone, but in God's eyes they are all just sins. If you truly believe you are forgiven & turn then yes you will go to Heaven.

All you have to do is believe that Jesus died for your (and the whole world's) sins and you are good for a ticket to heaven.\n\nA person can't redeem himself, only God can do it.   And he HAS done that through belief in Christ.

We can be forgiven because Jesus died for our sins. Jesus came to earth as a man, and lived a blameless life in order that he could do this for us.\n\nThe "our sins" there is pretty important, as is "as a man".\n\nThe devil is not a man, and therefore his sins have not been paid for by Jesus. Therefore he has to pay for his sins himself - which means that if he repents he still will not be forgiven.
