Open Heaven 28 December 2025 Sunday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – He Forgives All

Open Heaven 28 December 2025 TOPIC – He Forgives All

MEMORISE: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9 (KJV)

READ: Psalm 103:8-13 (KJV)

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Revelation 12-14

Open Heaven 28 December 2025 MESSAGE

Years ago, a devout Muslim heard the gospel during one of our programmes and became born again. He was overwhelmed with joy, and we rejoiced with him. Three days later, he came to me and asked, “Are you sure Jesus can forgive all sins?” I said, “Yes”. He said, “You have not heard all that I have done. The evil I have done is so much, and I don’t think He can forgive everything.” I asked him, “Have you given your life to Him?” He said, “Yes”. I responded, “Please, go home rejoicing; Jesus has forgiven all.” After another three days, he returned and said, “You have not heard everything I did.” Then, he proceeded to recount various sins that he had committed. I told him that once people give their lives to Christ, God gives them brand-new beginnings. He kept coming back to me with doubts about specific sins that he thought were too big for Jesus to forgive until one day, he said, “If Jesus can forgive this sin that I’m about to tell you, then I won’t worry anymore. I needed a man’s heart to make a charm. A young relative died, and I went to his grave at night, exhumed his body, and cut out his heart for the charm. Do you think Jesus can forgive that?” I opened my Bible and showed him 1 John 1:7, which reads, “…and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” I then asked him, “What is the meaning of all?” After a while, he replied, “I think all means all.” I said, “That is correct. It doesn’t matter how many sins you have committed up until now. The moment you give your life to Jesus, God forgives you of them all. No sin is too big for God to forgive.”

David knew the limitless extent of God’s forgiveness, and he wrote in Psalm 103:12 that God removes our transgressions from us as far as the East is from the West. Whenever David asked God to forgive him and cleanse him of his sins, God always did so. All God wants from you whenever you fall into sin is your sincere repentance.

Beloved, when you truly repent of your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you (1 John 1:9). True repentance is when a fellow stops engaging in sinful acts after God forgives him or her. God’s mercy is truly without limits; however, His forgiving nature should birth a changed heart in you.
