The topic "Forgiveness of Sins" as taught by the Members Church of God International (MCGI) reminds us of how merciful and loving God truly is. The Bible teaches that no matter how serious our sins are, God is always ready to forgive us if we genuinely repent and confess. In 1 John 1:9, it says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. MCGI emphasizes that asking for forgiveness is not just about saying sorry it’s about being truly sorry and wanting to change.
Bro. Eli Soriano, through MCGI’s teachings, often explains that real forgiveness comes when we turn away from our sins and start obeying God. It’s not enough to confess with our mouths; our actions must also show that we’ve changed. The Bible supports this in Isaiah 55:7, which tells the wicked to forsake their ways and return to the Lord, who will have mercy. This shows that forgiveness is available to anyone who truly wants to live a new and better life.
Another important lesson is that we must also forgive others if we want God to forgive us. Matthew 6:14-15 says that if we forgive people who wrong us, God will forgive us too but if we don’t, He won’t forgive us.
