God's forgiveness is generally understood as limitless, symbolized by Jesus' teaching to forgive "seventy times seven" (Matthew 18:21-22), meaning unendingly, though practical faith involves confessing, repenting, and striving to change, as repeated sin, even with forgiveness, can lead to spiritual discipline or consequences. While Christianity emphasizes boundless grace, other faiths like Judaism and Islam also stress frequent seeking of forgiveness, but may view repeated serious sins differently, often requiring deeper atonement.
There is no limit on how many times you may ask forgiveness from God, even for the same repeated sin.
Matthew 18:21-35 New King James Version (NKJV)
Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
You may have felt like your sins are too serious or that you have made the same mistake too many times. But no matter how much we have sinned, we can always repent and be forgiven. Some sins may be easier to correct than others, but Jesus Christ has provided for total forgiveness from all sins.
God forgives without conditions and without limits. We know this because God does not nuke us for crucifying Jesus, but forgives us. If murdering Jesus doesn't hit the boundary wall of God's forgiveness, it is difficult to imagine what might do so.
So Jesus' blood is definitely powerful enough to wash away all your sin, even repeated sins. You are never beyond forgiveness. But you must repent sincerely. The idea that God cannot be mocked (Galatians 6:7) basically means that God sees right through someone who is not repenting sincerely.
Reserved Sins?
Yes God can forgive all sins. However He sees right into your soul and can tell whether you are just faking it because you don't want to be punished for your actions or whether you truly repent of your sins and believe in what Jesus did. If you truly believe in Jesus and repent of your sins then yes you will be saved.
When you stumble, don't despair, but turn to God in repentance, trusting in His forgiveness. Commit to Growth: Focus not only on avoiding sin but also on growing in your relationship with Christ. As your love for God deepens, it can become a stronger motivator than fear of sin.
10 Signs You Haven't Truly Forgiven Someone (Even If You Think You Have)
490 is the numerical value of the biblical Hebrew word “tamim” which means to “complete,” “perfect,” or “finished.” A person who can't forgive will always live an imperfect, and incomplete life that lacks a true understanding of the “finished” gracious work of the cross.
There is no sin too deep, too grave, or too habitual that God cannot forgive. He wants to walk with you to freedom. Come to confession and hear those precious words of freedom spoken to you from the heart of Jesus: I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
You know you've made a breakthrough in your struggle to forgive if you can pray for the person. It's natural to want the person who hurt you to experience the same degree of hurt—but when you start rooting for the person who wronged you and stop rooting against them, you know that you're making real progress.
One eternal or unforgivable sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit), also known as the sin unto death, is specified in several passages of the Synoptic Gospels, including Mark 3:28–29, Matthew 12:31–32, and Luke 12:10, as well as other New Testament passages including Hebrews 6:4–6, Hebrews 10:26–31, and 1 John 5:16.
Act of Contrition (alternate form)
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
GREED or AVARICE: The inordinate love of and desire for earthly possessions. Amassing a fortune and desiring to accumulate more than others is greed. Next to anger, lust and envy, more crimes have been committed due to greed than any other deadly sin.
And so I tell you, every kind of sin and slander can be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come (Matthew 12:31–32).
Repentance in the Greek/Hebrew is a 'change of mind', or to 'change ones purpose', change of heart. Guilt or remorse will often be a byproduct of repentance but never exclusive. So to answer your question, if one continues to sin after feeling remorse, we may conclude one had never repented .. they just felt bad.
Jesus speaks of forgiveness beyond what anyone had ever considered before: seventy times seven! Many commentaries understand this to mean that Jesus was telling Peter that he should forgive his brother a limitless number of times.
