One of the Hebrew words for forgiveness is the word Nasah. Meaning to lift, bear and carry sin away. Truth be told no one can do this for themselves: we cannot lift, bear or carry our own sins. But sometimes you may stubbornly try to do so, or even expect others to carry it on their own. 2 Corinthians 5:21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
