A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of receiving a phone call from one of my outstanding grand-daughters (I have four!). She wanted to discuss the subject of "how to get forgiveness from God" and we had a wonderful discussion. By the end of our conversation she had come to believe on and trust in the Lord Jesus as her own Savior. I had another opportunity a week later to discuss what the Bible says about assurance of salvation with her and talk about the subject of baptism. I praise God for her decision.
Did you know that every month 46 people in the world type in the exact phrase "how to get forgiveness from God" on Google? I don't know about other major search engines but Google's tools are pretty accurate and it breaks my heart that for most of those 46 people they had to go to the internet to search for an answer. Most of them did not have a believer to personally share the Word of God and explain how God forgives sinners.
Here are some bullet points of general information that the Bible tells us about how we can be made right with God and gain eternal life.
You can get forgiveness from God right now. The Bible stresses the need for immediate action. We simply don't know what the next hour holds and if you feel the call to trust Christ as Savior do it now. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says "For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation". Trust Christ and experience the peace of knowing you are forgiven.
