From the time I was 15 until my early 30's I had taken many wrong paths in my life, premariral sex,sex with diffent partners. 2 children out of wedlock(same dad), I did drugs, I worked as an exotic dancer, I even had an abortion years back. I look back at all that and Im just disgusted I lived my life that way.Im now 34 and have turned my life around I have been with the same man for 4 years I work in a real estate office and even went back to college (took this semester off). I also attend church now with my children I find so much peace and joy when i go I really enjoy it. Will God forgive me for my evil past? I never ever want to walk the path I once did.

there is no amount of sin that is too much for God to forgive..
(1 John 1:9)
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

The Lord has been waiting for you with open arms. His unfailing love and compassion will help you overcome any sins of the past. Say to The Lord, "Purify me from my sins and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow." Psalm51:7 "Forgive the rebellious sins of my youth, look instead through the eyes of your unfailing love. Feel my pain and see my trouble, forgive all my sins, rescue my life from them." Psalm25:7-11 The Lord loves you so much that He gave His life for you. Your sins were placed at the cross, so you can have a new life in Jesus Christ. The Bible says that once The Lord forgives us, He casts our sins to the bottom of the sea and never remembers them again.
But remember one thing, "when you are praying, first forgive anyone you are holding a grudge against, so that your Father in heaven will forgive your sins too." Mark11:25
The Lord loved King David, King Solomon and King Nebuchadnezzar. Paul(one of the apostles) was a murderer before he became a Christian.These were men who did many evil acts. But they repented and the Lord forgave them, just like He has forgiven you. Why? Because He loves us.
Forgive yourself for sins of the past, the Lord forgave you a long time ago. Do God's will, obey Him, praise Him and love Him with all your heart and with all your soul. Remain faithful until the end and you will receive the greatest reward, eternal life.

Your sins are forgiven always by Jesus Christ, that is why Jesus died on the cross, for your sins, or that is my belief. If you are sincere about asking for forgiveness, Gods knows. Believe me, I have done some bad things which would most likely shock my friends and family, and I regret those things, I have asked for forgiveness and I put all those guilt feelings aside. God does not want you to go around feeling Guilt all the time, no matter what your mom or society wants you to think. You deserve a happy guilt-free life, go live it, as God would like.

You fell in the same trap that so many do, that things of the world and sin will make you happy. It is O.K., none of us are perfect! God will be so glad that you are back. So am I.
You now realize that true happiness does not come from sin, that is a great gift!
I am not sure about support, but the Catholic Church does have a support group for people dealing with the effects of abortion, I think the name is "Rachel's Garden".
Good luck and God Bless!

Yes, He will. You are sorry for the sins of your past, and have ask God to forgive you, and you try not to sin anymore. You are forgiven, you have repented from your sins and your past. However, if you are not married to your man...that is another story. In the Bible, in the book of 1st Corinthians, chap.6 verses 9- 11 say "Don't you know that those doing such things have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who live immoral lives, who are idol worshipers, adulteres or homosexuals-will have no share in his Kingdom. Neither will thieves or greedy people, drunkards, slanderers, or robbers. There was a time when some of you were just like that but now your sins are washed away, and you are set apart for God, and he has accepted you because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you. Also 1st Cor chap. 6 part of verse 13.. But sexual sin is never right: our bodies were not made for that, but for the Lord, wants to fill our bodies with himself. Here is another good one. 1 Cor. chap. 6 verses 18-20 That is why I say run from sex sin.No other sin affects the body as this one does. When you sin this sin it is against your own body.Haven't you learned yet that your body is the home of the Holy Spirit God gave you; and that he lives within you? Your body does not belong to you.For God has bought you with a great price. So use every part of your body to give glory back to God, because he owns it. Anyway, there other verses in Corinthians that speak on this topic, as well as 2nd Corinthins. You are TOTALLY on the right track, if you don't have a Bible; I hope you can get one.I use the Life Application Bible ( The Living Bible ) because it says things in everyday language, not all those "thee and thous". The New testament is a good place to start reading through first. If you are unable to purchace a Bible, I'd be HAPPY to get one for you. I use to be alot like you too, Jesus loves us, and does NOT want us to dwell on the things He has already FORGIVEN us for !! Satan wants to remind us of our past...it is NOT from God. The Bible says once God has forgiven our sins..He remembers them NO LONGER. God Bless You and your kids....you are going to be O.K.

i think of you lost the plot there someplace. sure, God is a forgiving God IF we are honest approximately being repentant for the flaws we do incorrect. If we are obedient to God's will he will blot out our sins. You seem to have the incorrect theory of hell. some church homes emphasized this to attempt and subdue their congregations with worry. Artists have had a sort of ingenious license with the assumption too. HELL: There are various unique words in Scripture for this. Sheol, Hades and Gehenna. the 1st 2 could do with the region of the lifeless, like the grave. Gehenna, on the different hand, refers back to the time whilst the garbage of the city of Jerusalem grow to be thrown exterior the partitions of the city into the valley the place it grow to be burnt. that's understood that perhaps the unclaimed bodies of the crucified etc have been probable thrown there too. So the relationship with hell on the time of Jesus might p[probable be the fires that have been stored burning by fact those could be a generally held theory. no one might opt to be thrown in there. This made an suited parable, pertaining to the fears of the persons by fact they could no longer draw close the message of the Gospel of salvation. the actual area of the message grow to be that 'they won't have faith although one rose from the lifeless'. Jesus had advised his disciples what grow to be to take place to him yet they did no longer comprehend. As to gazing suffering, God takes no exhilaration in it, neither does He inevitably intervene.

All God wishes to see is a sincere u-turn.
He is willing to forgive almost anything if the 'repenter' is sincere and makes an honest effort to remain free from wrong-doing.
"Though the sins of YOU people should prove to be as scarlet, they will be made white just like snow; though they should be red like crimson cloth, they will become even like wool. If YOU people show willingness and do listen. . .
Isaiah 1:18,19.
The forgivenenss depends on you to a large degree.

Yes, God will forgive anyone who seeks Him for forgiveness. Along with being forgive you are given that clean slate. Not only is your life changed because of getting closer to God...but you are bringing your children to Him. The other thing that I remind myself all the time that I am NOTHING without Him. Because of that I want to help others and if my "crooked" past helps any one else...then I need to make sure I share it with them. The only person I have to worry about judging me is God...I need not worry about ANY man/woman! Remember ~ we are to live IN this world but not be OF this world!

Dear one, I believe we all can tell a story that for us is as hurtful to our heart. I certainly can. I believe God will forgive you, He has promised when He sent His Only Begotten Son to the end that all who believe in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. That is the prayer and hope I have, even while I grieve for the things I have done that I cannot undo.
Peace be with you, God loves you. June

God is not there to Punish us for our sins....that is how he makes everybody realise of his/her mistakes here on earth itself and if we are wise enough to understand what wrong we have commited and think that we'll never do it again.....I am sure that God forgives each of us if we seek it with truth in our heart....
To me you didn't do anything wrong....what ever you did was out of your innocense about the right way of living a good life...now when you very well understand it....dont worry because God forgives all.
God Bless you.

Of course! He's a loving Father and He is willing to forgive you... if you're truly sorry about it and don't want to do it anymore. He loves you... He created you, and you're precious to his eyes!!! Don't doubt it!! You just need to find a quiet place and talk to him! He has always been there... waiting for you... and He will be happy to listen to your prayer. Ask him for forgiveness, and He will heal your heart and change your life forever!
The Bible says not only He will forgive you, but also throw your sins to the deeps of the sea and forget about it once and for all!
