Did God really forgive me?

Question

I recently got saved, but I did a lot of things in highschool that I'm not proud of.. Sometimes it's hard to believe that God would forgive me of those things.

Answer 1

I'm with ya, babe. But believe me, he forgives you, and he LOVES you more than you can imagine. Agape. By the way, do YOU realize how happy you've made God by accepting him and believing in him? Do you understand how much God loves you? READ the story of the prodigal son!!!!!! I can find it for you if nobody else knows where it is. Read it read it! Good story. You've made the Lord so happy by coming to Him.

God Bless you my friend, and congratulations!!!!!!!!

P.S.

I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly, my Lord was speaking:

"My name is I AM" He paused, and I waited. He continued, "When you live in the past, with all its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I WAS.

When you live in the future, with all it's problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I WILL BE.

When you live in this moment, it is easy. I am here. My name is I AM."

Forgiving yourself is a very difficult thing. But you just have to stay with it. You are not as bad as you may think or feel. We are all human and subject to taking advantage or blaming others and so on. You are no different in that respect. So start by counting yourself as one more mistake prone human being. That is not to downplay the importance of knowing that you have hurt another person or animal without any redeeming reason other than ignorance.
I am not qualified to answer your question directly, but I can answer indirectly. For example, I woke up one morning and remembered my dream. I was dreaming that I had killed someone and buried them in my backyard. It was a horrible feeling. I laid there a long time just feeling hopelessly lost. Then a message came through from the other side of my brain that stated that I had never killed anyone and certain did not bury a human being anywhere.
What a relief. Wow! I felt so much better after clearly remembering my past and realizing that the dream was not accurate. But their something accurate about the dream, and it was the feeling.
So, where did the feeling come from? Well it took me many years to figure that out. I did not have to do all the figuring out after I understood that the dream was not accurate, but the feeling was real.
My mind, emotions and spirit had been working on this problem a long time before I realized it. Come to find out that humans have these dream patterns that they redream over and over again. This was another key to the puzzle.
To finish a long story, a real story, I finally discovered that childhood abuse is experienced by an adult as a feeling that is not assciated to a memory. It is just there, the feeling.
So I came to understand that it did not take much to severly hurt or scare a child. That happened to me? I had a violent alcoholic father and a childish mother. Abuse comes in many forms. That maybe the feeling that is associated with your desirer to be forgiven.
It is the otherway, at least, probably. You need to do the forgiving.

Answer 3

Yes, if you are truly sorry for past mistakes and wrongdoing and have asked for God's forgiveness, then be assured that God has indeed forgiven you.
Oftentimes, when we have done things that we are not proud of or regret, we feel guilty.
But try and remember this; all of us sin.
All of us make mistakes.

God is a God of Mercy & Love.
He has already forgiven you. Now, what you need to do is let go of the past, forgive yourself, and embrace a new Beginning with His help and guidance.

I'm not a Bible expert by any means, but there is a passage that says something to the effect of..

"God's mercies never come to an end.
They are new every morning..."
That means God is willing to forgive us no matter how many times we may sin, if we are truly repentant in our hearts.

Congratulations! If you asked Him into your heart and asked for forgiveness, then He has forgiven you! I did things in highschool that I'm not proud of. I've done things since then as well that I'm not proud of. But He forgives if you ask Him! We are to lead the life of Jesus, and God has given us this life to do so, we do not become perfect overnight. It takes time, prayer, and work. With God, all things are possible. I'll give you a website with some great resources that I use a lot. God bless, and remember to listen for Him!!

Answer 5

He really did, if you asked with a sincere heart. God throws your sin into the sea of forgetfulness, as far as the east is from the west.
I never could understand how God would forgive me of so much, but I finally got it in my spirit that it isn't because of anything I could or couldn't do, it is all about Him. That is what grace is. God is so good, he will help you heal those things that still hurt, or that you aren't proud of.
I did alot of bad stuff when I was lost. But Jesus meets us right where we are at, He doesn't expect us to be all cleaned up and pretty, that is how he makes us.

be blessed in Jesus

Answer 6

Of Course God will forgive you. You 1 of the God name is REHMAN, which mean is ever forgiving. Ask God with pure hearted & he will forgive u. An God will accept u like u have done no sins before.

Man do not forgive, but GOD always forgive

Answer 7

If you truly believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God, that He gave His life for your sins, and rose again, and if you have truly asked for His forgiveness and turned away from that old way of life then I promise you He has forgiven you. God is a merciful, loving, compassionate God who is slow to anger. He loves you and He wants to forgive you. Keep praying. God will let you know. God bless you, my friend.

Answer 8

Did you know that all the angels in heaven rejoice when someone gets saved? If you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord, then you shall be saved. God will cast your sins into the sea of forgetfulness and remember them no more. His blood has made you white as snow. We have all sinned and came short of the glory of GOd. Most people did some terrible things before they got saved, I know I did. If you ever want to talk, just send me a message.

Answer 9

I'd like to say that none of you know anything about god or jesus. You are just making this stuff up from what you have heard.
Maybe you'll find out if god forgives you when u die maybe not, nobody really knows!!!
If i were you i wouldn't care. just forget that it ever happened.
U might just go to the so called hell if it exists but then u religious people can think about why god would want to punish someone.

Answer 10

Yes, God will really forgive you if you are sorry. He wants so much for you to be saved. He loves you and died for you. He would like you to keep His commandments to show that you love him, to try not to do those things again.

When you feel it's hard to believe that he would forgive, just remember that he does, and that's a sign of how very much he cares, that he would "even" forgive those things.
