Forgive Yourself: What If I Sin Again After Asking Jesus Into My Heart?We are not to deliberately sin. After becoming one of His dear children you will still make mistakes and get into sin. Hopefully you will not sin as often as time goes on and as you mature in Christ. Just in case you do, then know that the Word of God in 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Once we confess our sins, they are gone, never to be remembered by God (Jeremiah 31:34). He will never bring up confessed sins, nor hold them against us again. His mercy and grace is sufficient. He will deal with you and deliver you from that! Ask the Lord to take all the guilt and shame, wrong memories, and urges away from you daily. He loves you!!! He will never, never, leave you nor forsake you! So, don’t bring up past confessed sin that has been forgiven. All you are doing is beating yourself up. God has cast it aside, forgotten it. He might be saying to you, “What are you talking about?” If you have confessed your sin with true regret (a true repentant heart), He has already forgiven you, and He wants you to forgive yourself! God doesn’t want us focused on sin. He wants us to be Him (God) conscious (focused). “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure , whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.”
