But if we walk in the light as He Himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say, “We have no sin,” we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 2:2 HCSB
He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for those of the whole world.
Accepting Christ’s forgiveness can be a struggle at times. Maybe we try to hold ourselves to a perfect standard, trying ever so hard to be good enough and erase our sin on our own merit. Maybe shame makes us feel like God can’t use us because of our past and because of what we’ve done. 
But God’s grace and His forgiveness are perfect. He doesn’t need our striving and all our effort to make grace happen.
And sometimes God doesn’t use us despite of our past; He uses us because of it. The transformation work He does in us shows others what Christ can do when we give ourselves to Him.

Amen. Thank you for these reminders of Scriptures on how God forgives us. I struggle with forgiving some people in my life. God has softened my heart and I am changing my thoughts towards these people. I am so thankful that God forgives me. I need to forgive others.
I try to remember that also–to forgive because I’ve been so generously forgiven!
