We are often told that we need God to forgive us.
That is true, but not in the way that we think.
It all comes down to Karma, when we do something that is not acceptable to us and our beliefs, whatever that may be, it leaves a mark on our soul and conscious,leaving something for us to settle at a future period in time.
God is non judging, it is our individual soul that judges and determines right from wrong, we all have free will.
We have hundreds of religions and philosophical beliefs on planet earth, each claiming to be the “way”. By practicing these different religions, we all find a path to our God. If God were a judging type of entity, that would not be true.
We all make what is called mistakes or errors in judgement, this creates karma in our mind.
These “mistakes” or errors in judgment is what we need to come to terms with on an individual basis. Once we have forgiven ourselves, God will forgive us.
Our definition of free will determines we are forgiven when we realize no one is perfect and whatever we did was done only because of our limited knowledge and understanding at the time. When we gain knowledge, we gain understanding, not only of others but ourselves as well.
It is then we are able to understand and forgive ourselves for our actions.
