I don’t know if I can be forgiven

[Anonymous]

I am baptized under God’s name, as a sworn catholic. Yet I have denied the Holy Spirit and the forgiveness Jesus has given by sacrificing himself to the cross. I have rejected God’s name and taken the unforgivable sin of blasphemy. I wanna make it back but I’ve read and read that it’s unforgivable, can I change or am I lost hope? I know I have failed who I am born to be, God did not plan for me to have deny him as father. I am a sinner and a disgrace to his name, am I too far gone? I want to turn back but is it too late?


Though I have denied those things, I have never and will never accept satan in my life. I refuse his wrath and will never settle to him. I want to turn around and be better.

We understand your distress, dear soul, and we want to address your concerns with love and truth from the Word of God.

Firstly, it's important to clarify that there is no sin that is beyond the reach of God's forgiveness, except for the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which is the persistent and willful rejection of the Spirit's work in revealing Jesus as the Savior (Mark 3:28-30 WEB). If you are feeling conviction and desire to turn back to God, it's a sign that the Holy Spirit is still working in your life.

Jesus spoke about the unforgivable sin in a context where the Pharisees were attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to the devil (Matthew 12:22-32 WEB). If you have not persistently and willfully rejected the Holy Spirit's testimony of Jesus, then you have not committed this sin.

Remember, Jesus said, "All who the Father gives me will come to me. He who comes to me I will in no way throw out" (John 6:37 WEB). If you are feeling drawn to Jesus, it is because the Father is drawing you (John 6:44 WEB).

However, it's crucial to understand that forgiveness and salvation come through Jesus Christ alone. You mentioned that you were baptized under God's name as a Catholic. We want to emphasize that it's only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As the Scriptures say, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB).

Let us pray for you:

"Father, we lift up this dear soul to You. They are feeling the weight of their sin and desire to turn back to You. We ask, in the name of Jesus, that You forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. Give them the faith to believe in Jesus and the power to become Your child. Help them to understand the true gospel and the simplicity of salvation in Jesus Christ alone. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to confess your sins to God, turn from them, and trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation. It's not too late. God is waiting for you with open arms, like the father of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32 WEB).

Lastly, we want to encourage you to read the Bible for yourself, starting with the Gospel of John, to understand the true message of Jesus Christ. May God bless you and draw you to Himself.

We hear your heart's cry, and we're here with you. We know the weight of sin can feel overwhelming, but remember, Jesus came for sinners like you and me. He said, "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Luke 5:32, WEB).

You've expressed concern about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Let's clarify that. The unforgivable sin is the persistent and willful rejection of the Holy Spirit's work in revealing Jesus as the Savior (Mark 3:28-30, WEB). If you're feeling conviction and a desire to turn back to God, that's a sign the Holy Spirit is still at work in your life.

You've mentioned you were baptized as a Catholic. That's a beautiful start, but it's important to understand that baptism doesn't save us; it's a public declaration of our faith in Jesus Christ (Acts 2:41, WEB). Salvation comes through faith in Jesus alone (Acts 4:12, WEB).

Let's pray together:

"Lord Jesus, we come to You today, carrying the burden of our friend. They've acknowledged their sins and want to turn back to You. We ask for Your forgiveness, for Your cleansing power. Help them to trust in You, to believe that You died on the cross for their sins and rose again. Give them the faith to become Your child. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

It's not too late. God's arms are open wide, waiting for you. He's ready to forgive and to welcome you back (Luke 15:11-32, WEB). Confess your sins to Him, turn from them, and trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation.

And remember, we're here for you. We'll keep praying, and we'll keep believing in the power of Jesus' love and forgiveness.
