“The LORD God said to Moses:
The tenth day of the seventh month is the Great Day of Forgiveness. It is a solemn day of worship; everyone must go without eating to show sorrow for their sins, and sacrifices must be burned.
No one is to work on that day; it is the Great Day of Forgiveness, when sacrifices will be offered to me, so that I will forgive your sins.”
Psalm 32:1 (NKJV)

Psalm 78:38-40 (RSV)

He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert!”
Psalm 85:2 (NIV)

Luke 7:47 (ESV)
“Therefore, I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
Luke 7:40–44 (RSV)
“And Jesus answering said to him, ‘Simon, I have something to say to you.’ And he answered, ‘What is it, teacher?’
‘A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.’ When they could not pay, he forgave them both.
Now which of them will love him more? Simon answered, ‘The one, I suppose, to whom he forgave more.’ And he said to him, ‘You have judged rightly.’”

“Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’”
Acts 13:38 (CEB)
“Therefore, brothers and sisters, know this: Through Jesus, we proclaim forgiveness of sins to you. From all those sins from which you couldn’t be put in the right relationship with God through Moses’ Law,”
2 Corinthians 2:5–11 (NKJV)
“But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe. This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man, so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow. Therefore, I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
To this end, I also wrote that I might put you to the test to see whether you are obedient in all things. Now that you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
Ephesians 4:32(NIV)
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”

“And when you were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, he made you alive with him and forgave us all our trespasses.”
Colossians 3:13 (CJB)
“Bear with one another; if anyone has a complaint against someone else, forgive him. Indeed, just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must forgive.”
Hebrews 9:22 (ESV)
“Indeed, under the law, almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.”
1 John 1:9 (NIV)
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”
I hope this is helpful. God bless you.

If you are willing to receive Jesus Christ as your savior, that is, to be born again, pray sincerely as follows:
“Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and hereby ask for your forgiveness;
I believe in my heart and confess with my mouth that you are the only begotten Son of the living God.
I believe that you were sent by your Father to the earth to save sinners like me.
I now accept you as my personal Lord and Savior.
Come into my heart and baptize me with the Holy Spirit.
Thank you for saving me.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen!”
Congratulations friend! You are now a born-again Christian!
