Can our sins be forgiven?

According to the Bible, all humans are sinners. We inherited the tendency to sin from the first man, Adam. Thus, we sometimes do bad things and may later regret what we did. God’s Son, Jesus Christ, paid for our sins by dying for us. His ransom sacrifice made forgiveness possible. It is a gift from God.​—Read Romans 3:23, 24.

Some people have committed gross sins and wonder whether God can forgive them. Happily, the Word of God says: “The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7) Jehovah willingly forgives even serious sins if we have a proper, repentant attitude.​—Read Isaiah 1:18.

What must we do to be forgiven?
If we want Jehovah God to forgive us, we need to learn about him​—to understand his ways, his advice, and his requirements. (John 17:3) Jehovah generously forgives those who repent of their misconduct and try to change.​—Read Acts 3:19.

Gaining God’s approval is not too difficult for us. Jehovah understands our weaknesses. He is merciful and kind. Does not his loving-kindness make you want to learn more about how to please him?​—Read Psalm 103:13, 14.

What I learned is that despite the fact that we are all sinners, forgiveness is wholeheartedly available through Jesus Christ's sacrifice. Romans 3:23-24 emphasizes that while all have sinned, we can be justified freely by God's grace through faith in Jesus. Understanding that no sin is beyond God's forgiveness is comforting, as stated in 1 John 1:7, where we learn that "the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin." This motivates us to cultivate a repentant heart and strive for a closer relationship with Jehovah, as encouraged in Acts 3:19, where we are told to "repent and turn to God." Jehovah’s merciful nature, highlighted in Psalm 103:13-14, reassures us of His willingness to forgive, inspiring us to seek to please Him more each day.
