How Does a Mother Who Has Had an Abortion Find Forgiveness?

John MacArthur

The following is a transcribed Video Q&A, so the text may not read like an edited article would. Scroll to the bottom to view this video in its entirety. 

Well, forgiveness is available for every sin. Abortion is a sin but that's not the only sin. Homosexual sex is a sin, pedophilia is a sin, adultery is a sin. There's forgiveness for all of them. I just go back to first Corinthians where Paul says, "Such were some of you." Homosexuals, effeminate, you know, then he's go down and lists it, all kinds of sin. Every sin is forgivable in Christ. He forgives all our sins, that's what Scripture says.

There's no real relief for sin or for the guilt of sin apart from true forgiveness and true forgiveness is found in Christ. Having an abortion is not an unforgivable sin. Living in homosexual sex is not an unforgivable sin. The only unforgivable sin is rejecting Jesus Christ. Every other sin is why he died, to provide that forgiveness.
