How Can I Forgive God? First, you need to be honest with him and tell him your complaint, as in Psalm 142:2. He likes it when you tell him – and not the world – your hurt. Secondly, forgive God by making a list of things you are truly thankful for.
Be open and honest with God through prayer and admit that you have made mistakes. Once you have confessed your sins, ask for help. “By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them” (D&C 58:43). If possible, you should repair the damage your actions have caused.
In Mark 3:29 Jesus says that “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” Matthew's account adds that even blasphemy against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but not blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31–32).
Receiving God's forgiveness begins with admitting our sin and asking for His grace. We do this in an act of saving faith, as we first believe in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, and as a continued act of obedience in repentance.
Jesus expects us to forgive those who sin against us even before they request it or take responsibility for what they have done (see Mark 11:25).
To be forgiven by God means that your sins have been removed, and restoration has taken place. By God's gracious gift of forgiveness through Christ, any wrong you have done is not held against you. God is eager to forgive and provides forgiveness to you through faith in Jesus Christ. It's your choice to receive it.
People sometimes wonder if they have “done enough” to be forgiven of sins. Although it does take effort to repent, ultimately we aren't forgiven because we complete a checklist or do certain tasks. We are forgiven as we accept the mercy offered by Jesus Christ. It is in this way that our natures can be changed.
In the Book of Matthew (12: 31-32), we read, "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.
Matthew 18: 21-22 21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
Therefore I tell you, people will be forgiven for every sin and blasphemy, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
You do not need to confess to a pastor, priest, or spiritual leader to be forgiven. You do not need another human mediator, since (by faith) you already have Jesus Christ: “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5).
Though Church teaching, in line with its Doctors, holds that God has no literal sex because God possesses no body (a prerequisite of sex), classical and scriptural understanding states that God should be referred to (in most contexts) as masculine by analogy.
When you realize your sin against someone, come to them humbly, apologize for the hurt you've caused, express your remorse, ask if there is any way you can make it right, and ask for forgiveness. Don't offer excuses, but accept full responsibility.
Yes, God forgives and relents from punishment for those who truly love God, but there are also times and situations where there may be no turning back. Repentance can come too late after too much damage is done and there is no going back.
Forgiveness actually embodies three different things, each of which applies to different situations and provides different results. The three types of forgiveness are: exoneration, forbearance and release.
The prayer of protection. The prayer of transformation. The prayer of restoration.
In the Bible there is a theme of forgiveness—both asking for it and giving it. Asking for forgiveness from God and others if we have wronged them is important. Not only does it show repentance and obedience, but it also shows a witness for Christ.
Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not a careless act committed only once in a moment of rage or rebellion, but a calloused attitude over time; a persistent defiance that hardens and calcifies the heart. The Pharisees had been present when Jesus healed the sick. They saw him perform miracles up close and personal.
If sin were atoned for, then by Jesus' blood we are forgiven by God. Even people that reject Jesus have been forgiven of all of their sin. We know this because Jesus only made one sacrifice, for sin, for all times. "And where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin" (Hebrews 10:18).
