As we have seen, Jehovah's decision to forgive in not based on whether the sin was great or small. Also, we have learned that Jehovah uses his knowledge as our Creator, Lawgiver, and Judge when deciding whether he will extend forgiveness. What factors does Jehovah consider?
One factor that Jehovah considers is whether the sinner knew what he was doing was wrong. Jesus made this clear, as recorded at Luke 12:47, 48. (Read.) A person who willfully schemes to do something to do something wicked and knows full well that he is doing something that is offensive to Jehovah sins in a serious way. Such a person is in danger ofnot being forgiven. (Mark 3:29; Johb 9:41) We must admit, however, that sometimes we are aware that what we did was wrong. Is there any hope for us in that case? Yes! And this brings us to another factor that Jehovah considers.
