forgive us our

debts.”

How Does God Forgive?



1. God forgives me instantly

change their way of thinking. Let them

turn to the Lord, our God He is merciful

and quick to forgive.” Isaiah 55:7

keep His promise and do what is right He

will forgive our sins and make us clean

from all our wrongdoing.” 1 John 1:9

always ready to pardon, gracious and

merciful … full of love.” Nehemiah 9:17





“(Christ)… is always interceding on our

behalf.” Hebrews 7:25





3. God forgives me freely

guilty‟ of offending Him IF we trust in Jesus Christ, who

freely takes away our sins.” Romans 3:23-24

has forgiven all our sins.” Colossians 1:14

between God and His people. It is poured out to

forgive the sins of many.” Matthew 26:28
