What is a sin that God will not forgive?

A sin that God will not forgive is unforgiveness, because the Bible says that if we do not forgive those who sin against us, God will not forgive us (Luke 11:25-26). By holding on to our anger, we cause ourselves extra grief when we fail to forgive.

When we hold grudges against others, we are behaving in a way that is not pleasant to God, makes it hard to pray and maintain a good living connection with Him. God will not hear our prayers unless we also demonstrate that we are willing to forgive. We should forgive people because God has forgiven us via Jesus (according to Ephesians 4:32).

It is inappropriate for someone who has encountered God's forgiveness personally to refuse to forgive others. God, on the other hand, will forgive us if we forgive those who have wronged, betrayed, harmed, and disappointed us. If we confess our sins, he is true and righteous to forgive us our sins and to purify us from all unrighteousness, according to 1 John 1:9. God will forgive us if we agree with him about our sins and confess them. We must refer to the wrongdoing by its proper name. Confession implies that we refer to it as a sin rather than a mistake or carelessness.

A prayer of repentance

I kneel before you, Lord, with a crushed heart because of the wrong I've committed. And I beseech your pity and grace on a sinner who has come to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and that he is my Saviour and Redeemer.

Thank you, Lord, for declaring that all who trust in Jesus Christ as their Savior will have their sins forgiven eternally. Fill my heart with noble thoughts and pure aspirations, for I no longer want to linger in the crisis of sin that has kept me from you for so long.

Thank you for saving me by your grace, merely by trusting in Jesus Christ's blood. In his name I pray, Amen.

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

Wait upon the LORD

Life resembles a route. Additionally, there will be stop signs and speed limit or increase signs along the route! I chose to use this analogy because there are times in life when all you have to do is wait on the Almighty. And just get more prayer done when you feel like a situation has triumphed over you. Simply put on the gear and switch it out. There are moments when we may feel as though the Lord is not seeing us, hearing us, or responding to our prayers. We can place all of our faith and belief in the living God at these times. Knowing that the Lord is with us and in charge of our lives allows us to wait on Him with great anticipation. He is going to fulfill his promise. He is going to save us. Even when we are not aware of Him, He is constantly at work for our good (Romans 8:28). Waiting on the Lord is something we can learn through prayer, seeking, active trusting, patience, and courage. When we wait on the Lord, we confidently anticipate a favorable outcome, for which we ...

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against ...
