Will God forgive us if we do not accept him as our lord and king?

A:If you are asking whether God will forgive us, you are surely already accepting him as your lord and king. You may be disobedient, but by granting that he has the right to forgive or punish, you are already placing him in the position of lord and king.

It is only open to those who do not believe in God, whether as atheists, agnostics or followers of other religions not to accept God as lord and king. For them, God's forgiveness is not something for which they hold any regard, since he does not exist.
