Chapter II - Your sins are forgiven you - Comforting Scriptures
 

Your sins are forgiven you

     

1

12

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

   

I John 2

     

2

1

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

3

2

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for [the sins of] the whole world.

4

3

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

5

4

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

6

5

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

   

I John 2

     

7

9

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

8

10

Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

9

11

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

   

I John 4

     

10

15

This [is] a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

   

I Timothy 1

     

11

7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

   

I John 1

     

12

8

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

   

Romans 5

     

13

19

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

   

Romans 5

     

14

25

I, [even] I, [am] he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

   

Isaiah 43

     

15

10

For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

16

11

And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

17

12

For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

   

Hebrews 8

     

18

38

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

19

43

To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

   

The Acts 10

     

20

5

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

21

6

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

   

I John 3

     

22

5

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.

   

Psalms 32

     

23

21

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

   

St Matthew 1

     

24

23

For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

   

Romans 6

     

25

31

And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.

26

32

I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

   

Luke 5

     

27

13

But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

   

St Matthew 9

     

28

9

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

   

I John 1

     

29

34

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin [is] a reproach to any people.

   

Proverbs 14

     

30

21

[There is] no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.

   

Isaiah 57

     

31

21

But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

32

22

All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

33

23

Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?

   

Ezekiel 18

     

34

31

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.

   

St John 9

     

35

9

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

   

II Peter 3

     

36

18

The LORD [is] longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing [the guilty], visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation].

37

19

Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

38

20

And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

   

Numbers 14

     

39

Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, [even] from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

41

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

   

Isaiah 55

     

42

And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

   

Joel 2

     
43

2

And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, [was] not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou [art] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
