Now, as my mind caught hold upon this thought, I cried within my heart: O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness, and am encircled about by the everlasting chains of death. And now, behold, when I thought this, I could remember my pains no more; yea, I was harrowed up by the memory of my sins no more.
Forgiveness can be immediate. Christ does not wait until the final judgment to wipe away our sins. He can do it in an instant. We still need time to work through the full repentance process so that we fully change, but forgiveness can come quickly.
