King David was far from a perfect man yet the Bible refers to him as a man after God's own heart (1st Samuel 13:14) Scripture records that David committed adultery and murder (2nd Samuel 12:9).He did wrong in the sight of the Lord on a number of occasions..yet our Lord Jesus describes Himself as the Root and Offspring of David (Revelations 22:16). These declarations are made possible because the Lord is indeed merciful. The lord says in( Isaiah 43:25) ' I even I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake and i will not remember your sins'. In the book of (Jeremiah 31:34) He affirms; 'For I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will remember no more'
There is no amount of sin that God cannot forgive no matter how terrible we have been. However, it is critical to note at this point that Scripture records our Lord Jesus saying in (Luke 12:10) 'And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven'.
Dear Brethren, from my understanding and as the Bible records, the only sin that will not be forgiven is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. see also (Mathew 12: 31-32). Brothers, what is that secret sin that holds you to bondage? The Lord can set you free from it...He is ready to pardon. He knows we are just dust. He only wants us to acknowledge our sins by confessing and truly repent of them. The Bible says for all have sinned and come short of Gods Glory. 'for there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin';(Ecclesiastes 7:20) The apostle John says; 'If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us' (1st John 1:8); He then goes on to say; 'But if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our iniquities and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.( 1st John 1:9).
Why don't you accept the Mercy of God by confessing and repenting of transgression. This is for our own good
