Forgiveness: A Christian Theological Dictionary on Forgiveness

A Christian theological definition of Forgiveness according to CARM - The Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry:

Forgiveness

"There are seven words in Scripture that denote the idea of forgiveness: three in

Hebrew and four in Greek.

No book of religion except Christianity teaches that God completely forgives sins. God remembers our sins no more (Heb. 10:17). God is the initiator of forgiveness (Col. 2:13).

There is only one sin for which the Father does not promise forgiveness: blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Mark 3:28; Matt. 12:32). The contexts suggest this to be the sin of attributing to unclean spirits the work of the Holy Spirit.

For man to receive forgiveness, repentance is necessary (Luke 17:3-4). For the holy God to extend forgiveness, the shedding of blood is necessary (Heb. 9:22; Lev. 17:11). Forgiveness is based upon the sacrifice of Christ on the cross."
