Jehovah-The Greatest Forgiver

 "You, O Jehovah are good and ready to forgive; you abound in loyal love for all those who call on you. - PSALM 86:5. 

King Solomon observed: "There is no righteous man on earth who always does good and neve sins." (Ecclesiastes  7:20) So all we need forgiveness from God and from fellow humans. 

No doubt you remember a time when you offended a close friend. You wanted to correct the matter and repair your relationship, so you offered a heartfelt apology. How did you feel when your friend freely forgave you? Relieved? Yes, and happy too!

We want Jehovah to be our closest Friend, but at one time or another, we will say or do things that offend him. Why can we be certain, though, that Jehovah is eager to forgive?  In what way is Jehovah's forgiveness unique in comparison with the forgiveness that we can extend?  And finally, who can gain God's forgiveness?
