For people soiled by sin and hence unworthy to enter the presence of God, or corrupted by evil deeds and hence unable to realize their true inner nature, an essential prerequisite for salvation is the forgiveness of sins. The experience of divine forgiveness and pardon is universal, reaching to supplicants in all the world's religions.
Several texts discuss the cleansing of sin.
We conclude with passages which emphasize the magnitude of divine forgiveness, which can encompass even the most gargantuan evils. Some passages suggest that God even desired sin or favors sinners in order that He may demonstrate His gracious and forgiving nature. I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. Judaism and Christianity. Bible, Isaiah 43.25 All evil effects of deeds are destroyed, when He who is both personal and impersonal is realized.
