Frequently Asked Questions

Is any sin too big for God to forgive?

No. 1 John 1:9 promises cleansing from 'all unrighteousness' — no exceptions. The only sin that remains unforgiven is the persistent rejection of God's offer of salvation. As long as you come to God in genuine repentance, His forgiveness is available.

How do I forgive myself?

If God has forgiven you (and He has, if you've confessed — 1 John 1:9), holding onto self-condemnation contradicts His verdict. Romans 8:1 declares 'no condemnation' for those in Christ. Accept God's assessment over your own feelings. Self-forgiveness follows from receiving God's forgiveness.
