“I have blotted out…your transgressions, and…your sins.” Isaiah 44:22 NKJV

When you have a hard time forgiving yourself. There is only one unpardonable sin named in the Bible (see Luke 12:10). And as a believer, you probably haven’t committed it, so God will forgive you for everything else. However, when God says He forgives you and you refuse to forgive yourself, it’s like opting to stay in prison after the judge has expunged your record and set you free. And worse, you’re committing the sin of pride. How come? Because when God forgives you and you refuse to forgive yourself, you’re putting your opinion above His. If you’re having trouble forgiving yourself, stand on God’s Word: “I…am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; and I will not remember your sins” (Isaiah 43:25 NKJV). “I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and…your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you” (Isaiah 44:22 NKJV). “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and…will abundantly pardon” (Isaiah 55:7 NKJV). “‘Never open your mouth anymore because of your shame, when I provide you an atonement for all you have done,’ says the Lord” (Ezekiel 16:63 NKJV). “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1 NKJV). Are you “in Christ Jesus?” Then rejoice; you no longer need to struggle under the weight of condemnation. God has totally forgiven you, so forgive yourself and move on.

What does "standing on the word of God" mean? ›

There is a powerful key we have in order for us to hold onto the promises of God — believe God's word and stand on it. There are so many promises God has declared over our lives, the problem is that we forget that God is bound by His word. Whatever He has said in His word, He cannot go back on.

What can the word of God do for us today? ›

The Word reveals truth

The power of God's Word lies in the truth it proclaims. Because Scripture is inspired and God-breathed, it's useful for teaching, training and guiding us in truth. It becomes the tool to reprove, convict or rebuke so we might know and follow God's will.

What is the main purpose of God's word? ›

God's Word Creates and Sustains Life

The word of God not only describes faith in Christ; it is God's appointed means to create faith in Christ. The word of God is living, active, and powerful, and we as Christians get to proclaim it and then prayerfully anticipate how God will use it to accomplish his good purposes.

How to be in God's word everyday? ›

Talk to God in prayer about what you read, responding to what He has said to you in His Word. Pray over what you read, how you'd like to apply it to your life, and praise Him for what you learned about Him. Ask Him to carry His truth into your day and help you to stay connected to Him throughout your day.

How do you put God's word into action? ›

Put it into practice.

As you read Scripture, have a regular rhythm of asking yourself, "How will I obey this in a costly and tangible way in the next 47 hours?” Invite a friend or your group to support your costly step with prayer, encouragement, accountability, and celebration when you practice!

What's a good Bible verse for me today? ›

"For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you.'" Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.

What does God's word say about me? ›

He chose you when He planned creation (Ephesians 1:11-12), and you are not a mistake (Psalm 139:15-16). He brought you forth on the day you were born (Psalm 71:6), and His thoughts toward you are countless — like the grains of sand on the shore (Psalm 139:17-18). You are really, truly, deeply loved by God.

What is the word of God for you? ›

Thus the phrase 'word of God' refers to God own speech as he brings order out of chaos and makes his will known. It refers to the prophetic correction to his people to keep them within his gracious ordering, and then to the written record of the law, prophets and wisdom.

How do you know what God is saying to you? ›

It is suggested that we must have complete faith and trust in God, pay attention to tiny voices, chedule time for God regularly, stay open, etc., and remember that we are important to God. Many claim that God talks when there is a sense of feelings of happiness and peace, and while serving others.
