 This study was done by one of my most precious online students, Ryan. He was 13 when he did this, and he has a fire for God that is incredible! I wish that we all thirsted as much as he. 
Everyone sins:
Yea , all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. Daniel 9:11
God Forgives our sins:
I acknowledged my sin unto thee and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah Psalm 32:5
God Forgets our sins:
I, even I, am he that blotteh out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins Isaiah 43:25
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us
Psalm 103:12
The only sins God does not forgive:
But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Mark 3:29
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18-19
God says we should forgive each other:
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. Colossians 3:13
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32
We are all sinners. We all need forgiveness. The only way to recieve forgiveness for our sins is through Christ. All sins can be forgiven except two. They are changing the bible and blaspheming the Holy Spirit.
There are two types of forgiveness. The first is God forgiving us for our sins. The second is if we trespass against a brother or sister and them forgiving us.
Our God is a very forgiving God. He forgives our sins but he also goes one step further he forgets our sins. It says that God removes our sins from us as far as the East is from the West. It also says that God blots out our sins. When God forgives us he not only forgives us he doesn't even remember that we sinned.
The other type of forgiving between you and another person God says this: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. AMEN!!!
