Forgiveness From God

Throughout this past week, you may have felt the desire to confess to God. In the midst of your sorrow, you may have realized that you have hurt others, yourself, and your children because of your abortion. In doing so, you have sinned against God.

In the Bible, we learn that God is good and just, merciful, and abounding in love. God created the world to be full of love, kindness, joy, wisdom, truth, beauty, and life, and yet sin has distorted the world, bringing pain and suffering into it. 

All of us are guilty of sin. We have sinned by hurting others, by being unkind or selfish, and by adding to the sadness and pain in the world and in our own lives. We need to go before God (and others) and be honest about what we have done and the thoughts and emotions we have had. We need forgiveness.

The good news is that the loving and just God who created the whole world is also the God who does not treat us as our sins deserve but instead forgives us and invites us back into a relationship with Him. God can forgive us and repair the brokenness we have caused because Jesus gave his life on our behalf in the greatest gift of love. And Jesus continues to show us God’s radical goodness by loving us when we are unlovable, forgiving us when we are guilty, healing us when we are hurting or broken, and restoring us to healthy relationships with God and others. 

1 John 1:9 gives us the promise that when we confess our guilt to God, God will always forgive us. We do not have to earn God’s forgiveness or “pay” for our sins because Jesus paid the penalty for our guilt. Psalm 103:12 then promises that God will remove our sins so completely that they will be as far from us as the east is from the west – infinitely far from us!

Not only does God forgive us, but He brings us into a covenantal relationship full of love and compassion. As high as the heavens are above the earth – infinitely high! – so great is His love for those who fear him.

Today, come to the Lord with your confession and receive from Him not only forgiveness but abounding, unending, infinite love.

Hope After an Abortion

This seven-day Bible plan is designed to help those recovering from abortion process their emotions and find renewed hope in God's love and forgiveness. This plan is adapted by Suzy Silk from a nine-week support group curriculum offered online and in-person by Avail - a non-profit organization that exists to empower women and men facing an unexpected pregnancy or with a past abortion.
