Is My Sins Forgiven, When I Born Again

As a new Christian, it's normal to sometimes wonder, “Was my sin really forgiven?” Maybe you still feel guilt. Maybe you’re struggling with old habits. Or maybe the enemy is whispering lies to make you doubt God’s grace. But God wants you to walk in freedom and confidence, knowing that your sins have been forgiven through Jesus Christ.

Let’s explore what God’s Word says about your forgiveness.

Scripture:

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” – Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)
 

“For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” – Hebrews 10:14 (NIV)
When Jesus died on the cross, He took all your sins—past, present, and future—on Himself. His death wasn’t partial or conditional. It was complete. You don’t need to keep earning forgiveness. It has been paid in full.

Scripture:

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9 (NIV)
 

This verse promises that God not only forgives but purifies. That means He wipes the slate clean. There’s no leftover guilt or stain. When God forgives, He doesn’t keep a record of your wrongs (Psalm 103:12).

Sometimes, you might not feel forgiven. But faith isn’t based on feelings—it’s based on truth. If God says you’re forgiven, you are, no matter how you feel.

Scripture:

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” – Romans 8:1 (NIV)
 

When God forgives you, He doesn’t keep condemning you. Condemnation comes from the enemy, not from your loving Father.

God’s forgiveness doesn’t mean you’ll never struggle again. But now, you’re free to grow without fear. You’re on a journey of becoming more like Jesus.

Scripture:

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 1:6 (NIV)
 

God isn’t finished with you yet. He’s patient, and He’s faithful. He sees the end result even while you're still growing.

Even when you stumble, God invites you to come back. His grace is bigger than your weakness.

Scripture:

“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” – Hebrews 4:16 (NIV)
 

Yes—your sin really has been forgiven. Jesus didn’t halfway save you. He saved you completely. You are now a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and nothing can separate you from His love.

“Father, thank You for forgiving all my sins through Jesus Christ. Help me to walk in Your truth and not be led by guilt, shame, or doubt. Teach me to rest in Your grace and trust in Your promises. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
