Here are two passages on forgiveness from the New Testament: “And said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem’” (Luke 24:46-47). “…delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me” (Acts 26:17-18). Jesus said the first to the apostles and the second to Saul of Tarsus when he received Christ. Both commands include repentance, and both include forgiveness. The first is a command to preach repentance to unbelievers, and the second is a command to the apostles to turn the unbelievers from the power of Satan unto God. Two more passages on repentance are Acts 17:30 and 2 Timothy 2
Jeremiah 17:7-8: "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her ROOTS BY THE RIVER, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit."
