 Now, you may be someone who's never trusted Jesus as your Savior. And so, when you come and you ask God to forgive you, you have to ask Him to forgive you for your life of disobedience and rebellion toward Him. You accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, a one-time event in your life whereby you ask Him to save you from your sins and that you're receiving Him as your personal Savior. In that moment, you are forgiven.
