Forgiveness

 How Long Sins Are Forgiven?

 

 

ALLAH

 

But if they cease, Allah is oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. [Surah 2:192] (Also found in 84 other surahs in chapters 2-12, 14-17, 24-25, 27-28, 33-35, 39, 41-42, 46, 48-49, 57-58, 60, 64, 66-67, 61, 73, 85.)

 

We shall set up scales of justice for the Day of Judgment, so that not a soul will be dealt with unjustly in the least, and if there be (no more than) the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it (to account): and enough are We to take account. [Surah 21:47]

 

Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left. Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it). [Surah 50:17-18]

 

We sent aforetime our apostles with Clear Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance (of Right and Wrong), that men may stand forth in justice. [Surah 57:25]

 

Then shall anyone who has done an atom’s weight of good, see it! And anyone who has done an atom’s weight of evil, shall see it. [Surah 99:7-8]

 

Those who believe and work righteous deeds, from them shall We blot out all evil (that may be) in them, and We shall reward them according to the best of their deeds. [Surah 29:7]

 

If any one does a righteous deed, it ensures to the benefit of his own soul; if he does evil, it works against (his own soul). [Surah 45:15]

 

Then he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy, will be in a Life of good pleasure and satisfaction. But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light – Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit. And what will explain to you what this is? (It is) a Fire blazing fiercely! [Surah 101:6-10]

 

 

YAHWEH

 

And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance [Ephesians 1:13-14]

 

Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. When you were dead in your sins…God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins. [Colossians 2:12-13]

 

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears (on the day of Judgment), then you also will appear with him in glory. [Colossians 3:3-4]

 

For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” [Hebrews 8:12]

 

How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!

 

For this reason, Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. [Hebrews 9:14-15]

 

“Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” [Hebrews 10:17]

 

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. [I John 4:13-18]
