This is from my evening devotions with Charles Spurgeon scriptures from Ephesians and Matthew and comments by me.
Ephesians 1:7 KJV
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: [15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Could there be a sweeter word than "forgiveness" when it falls upon the ears of a guilty sinner, like the silver notes of jubilee to a captive Israelite? Blessed, forever blessed, be that dear star of pardon, shining into the condemned cell and giving the perishing soul a gleam of hope amid the midnight of despair!
Can it really be that such sin as mine can be forgiven, forgiven entirely, and forever? Hell is my portion as a sinner—there is no escape from it as long as sin remains upon me. Can the heavy burden of guilt be lifted? Can the crimson stain be wiped away? Can the chains of my prison be loosed and the doors torn from their hinges? Jesus tells me that I may indeed be forgiven! Blessed forever be the revelation of His atoning love, which not only declares that pardon is possible but also guarantees it to all who trust in Jesus. I have believed in the atoning sacrifice of Jesus crucified, and therefore, at this moment and forever, my sins are forgiven through His suffering and death. What joy is this! What bliss to know that I am a completely pardoned soul! My soul dedicates all her powers to Him who, by His unmerited love, became my surety and wrought my redemption through His blood.
What riches of grace are displayed in this free forgiveness! To forgive at all, to forgive fully, to forgive freely, and to forgive forever! This is a constellation of wonders! When I consider how great my sins were, how precious were the drops of blood that cleansed me, and how gracious the means by which pardon was secured for me, I am lost in wonder and worship! I bow before the throne that absolves me, I cling to the cross that redeems me, and I devote my life to the Incarnate God, through whom I am this night a pardoned soul.
My comments
We all need to learn how to forgive one another because if not we can't be forgiven and this includes forgiving ourselves.
Because when we ask God for forgiveness He will always forgive us so we should be able to forgive ourselves but we definitely need to forgive others as well, we need to go to the person that we offend and repent and ask them for forgiveness, and if they won't then that is between him or her and God.
