If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
and will forgive us our sins.
—1 John 1:9
I recently came across a phrase I hadn’t seen before: “terminal uniqueness.” The author defined it as “a subtle feeling that we are the only person in God’s creation who can’t be forgiven.”
I’ve encountered numerous people who were convinced that they were unforgivable. Often, it was something that happened a long time ago that continued to haunt them. Sometimes, it was a long-term struggle with a particular sin that they felt they should have overcome by now. Whatever, it was a case of “terminal uniqueness.”
It’s a wedge that Satan effectively uses to come between a person and God. And it’s a lie. It is not your place to decide whether God can forgive, what God can forgive, or how much God can forgive. That’s God’s domain, not yours.
Let God be God.
