The eighth gift God gives us is the gift of forgiveness.
None of these gifts would matter if we don't repent and ask for forgiveness for what we have done.
for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 ASV
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 ASV
God Forgives us when we mess, screw up, or do something he does not like or want when we come to Him and tell Him and ask for forgiveness.
God does not want us to harbor these things, He wants us to repent and give it up and let go of this stuff.
God loves a repentant heart and is willing to forgive us our stuff.
Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. Luke 15:7 ESV
So, with that let's look at more verses about forgiveness and God wanting this for us.
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.” Mark 11:25 ESV
For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26:28 ESV
For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14-15 ESV
Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times. Matthew 18:21-22 ESV
Accept and praise God for forgiveness today as the gift that is freely given to you for Tomorrow, we look at the ninth gift from God.
Take time today and look up forgiveness for yourself!
