Malloy Thu, 20 Sep 2012 04:58:17 +0000 http://www.believingstudy.com/?p=53#comment-204 I have found through research that self forgiveness is not Biblical, and the more I looked into it, it was revealed to me that the reason we struggle with it is due to the fact that we are attempting to do something we do not have the power to do! God is the one who forgives us! So the problem isn't the forgiving ourselves it is believing that we are forgiven and accepting that forgiveness.

Its lyr­ics were in­spired by the Gos­pel tract Fo­cused, by Lil­i­as Trot­ter, which in­clud­ed these words: So then, turn your eyes upon Him, look full in­to His face and you will find that the things of earth will ac­quire a strange new dim­ness. O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see? There’s a light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free! Refrain Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and grace. Through death into life everlasting He passed, and we follow Him there; Over us sin no more hath dominion— For more than conquerors we are!

O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!

Refrain

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!

Refrain

His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

Then we choose to believe our own perceptions rather than believing what Jesus has done for us on the cross. The whole problem is one of fixing our eyes on ourselves rather than upon Christ.

One is told in Scripture to die to one's self! It is God alone against whom we have sinned. Psalms 51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

We must have a clean conscience in His sight and ours. You can't have that without faith in what He has done. Trusting Him is repentance, not forgiving ones self.

Most all are surprised at this BIBLICAL TRUTH. Being the one to forgive self replaces God who is the one who forgives. I have refered people to this web site many many times.

Then we have real peace. When God forgives us as we repent, then that should be it.

First of all, you're trampling on the blood of the Son of man, which was shed on your behalf specificaly so your sins could be forgiven. You're also saying that your own sense of justice is of higher value and greater consequence than the justice of the living God. And let's just face the true motive behind your self-condemnation: you wish to appear repentant. However, there is no need for this; simply repent, and let the matter be settled on the basis of the true, Biblical faith once entrusted to you!
