Comments on: My Sins Are Too Great for God to Forgive http://thelife.com Thu, 04 Dec 2008 20:57:17 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Darren http://thelife.com/fromtodayon/questions/my-sins-are-too-great-for-god-to-forgive/#comment-19384 Darren Mon, 07 Apr 2008 14:27:55 +0000 http://fromtodayon.com/questions/my-sins-are-too-great-for-god-to-forgive/#comment-19384 Hi David, There is no sin so large that God will not forgive you if you turn your life over to Him in humility, sincerely ask for forgiveness, and allow God to work in your life to also turn away from sin. The so-called "unforgivable sin" (Mark 3:28-29, Matthew 12:30-32) is often misunderstood. The word used in the text is not "sin", it is "blasphemy". Jesus here is saying that permanently rejecting His identity (rejecting the Gospel) as attested by the Holy Spirit is in a sense unforgivable, since without accepting God's offer of grace none of a person's sins can be forgiven. Thus, a Christian who is worried that he or she has committed the "unforgivable blasphemy" cannot possibly have committed it. Jesus' sacrifice was for you, and God's offer of forgiveness and grace is always open to you regardless of sin. Check this page for more: http://thelife.com/landing/joj_1.html Hope this helps David. Feel free to reply if you'd like. Hi David,
