How Many Times Will God Forgive Me?
1) Direct Answer
God will forgive you every time you truly repent. There is no fixed number. As long as you come honestly, confessing and turning from sin, the door of mercy is open. The only sin the Bible marks as unforgivable is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit—but a heart seeking forgiveness hasn’t done that.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Jesus told Peter, “not seven times, but seventy times seven” (Matthew 18:21-22). If He commands us to forgive that freely, how much more does God forgive His children.
- “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us…and to cleanse us” (1 John 1:9).
- “You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive” (Psalm 86:5). He casts sins “into the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:19) and removes them “as far as the east is from the west” (Psalm 103:12).
- The prodigal son shows the Father running to receive the repentant (Luke 15).
- Jesus said all sins can be forgiven except blasphemy against the Holy Ghost (Mark 3:28-29).
- This mercy is not a license to sin: “Shall we continue in sin…? God forbid” (Romans 6:1-2). “He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy” (Proverbs 28:13).
- And if you stumble, “we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous” (1 John 2:1). He “is able to save…to the uttermost” (Hebrews 7:25).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Now notice: Jesus removed the number from forgiveness. That shows God’s heart. He’s not counting; He’s cleansing.
- Forgiveness is not about how many times you fell, but whether you come in godly sorrow, confess, and turn. Real repentance brings real mercy.
- If you’re troubled and drawn to ask this, that’s the Spirit dealing with you. The very fact you care means the way back is open.
4) Short Reinforcing Statement
Come now. Confess it, forsake it, and believe His Word. Don’t count your failures—count on His blood. Walk in the light, and He will keep you.

In His presence
62-0909E §69
And then, Father, I've been dilatory about serving You, many times maybe I could have went longer when I didn't do it. Father, I confess my sins. I want the angel of God to cleanse me from that, by the blood of Jesus. Other hands went up tonight. Some of them maybe has never asked forgiveness before; but I'm sure of this one thing, if we'll confess our sins, God will blot them out, put them in the sea of forgetfulness and never remember them no more. And, Father, as I confess mine, about misbehaving before them peo...

He said, "Oh, well, God forgive us so many times, He'll forgive us again." So he went up. But Moses said, "He's through with you. When you did this, you crossed the line." Let's look back and see if we've crossed the line or not. Where did He draw the line on the Lutherans? Where did He draw the line on the Methodists? Where did He draw the line on the Baptists? on the Campbellites? on the Nazarene? on the Pilgrim Holiness? Buddy Robinson's group, and all that? Where did He draw the line on? The same place He's dra...
God in His Word

Now, remember. I make this statement clear that I am not a healer and have nothing to do with it. No other man is a healer. Only God alone is a healer. How many knows that? How many knows that there is nothing in my hand, or any other man's hand, that can have anything to do with your healing? How many knows that? Not a thing. How many knows that healing is a finished work of God, it's already done? That's right. By faith we accept it. How many knows that no one could forgive your sins, but God alone? That's true....

Him that led us, and in this now with the hours of preaching, explaining, doing the best I know how for my fellow man, trying to get them to understand the things that I have said, and why I have done these things. I bring to You now, Lord, this people, this people visible and the people that will hear will hear the tapes hereafter. [Gap in the audio] Think, God, Himself, give the divine interpretation; and I'm sure, Lord, if I have brought the Word, it'll fall on them that it is predestinated to fall on. Thy Word...

...her looked Him in the face, said ... tears running down his cheeks; something had struck him. A change had come in his heart that very moment and he said, "Lord, I believe. Forgive me," so many words, "forgive me for my unbelief. All this time I've tried to believe the Pharisees. I've doubted when the disciples failed. Forgive me, Lord, of my unbelief." And with tears rolling down, the Spirit of God had struck his heart, and he said, "Lord, I believe. Forgive me of my unbelief, or, the Bible quotes it, "Help Thou m...
