_305. What is implied by the word "trespasses"?_
Thereby is implied our guilt or debt to God, which we have brought
upon ourselves by our sins.
_306. Can we feel assured that God will forgive us this debt?_
Yes; Jesus Christ has paid for all our sins.
_307. Why must the believer ask the forgiveness of sins every day?_
Because he sins every day, and is always in need of forgiveness.
_308. What do we confess to God in this petition?_
We confess that we are not worthy of the least of that which we ask,
neither have we deserved it; but we pray that He would give it to us
out of His mercy.

forgiveness?_
We promise to forgive those who trespass against us, and return good
for evil.
