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.

Oh, Chicago, Chicago, how many times you've been offered revival. You haven't had a revival since Moody was here, a sweeping revival. I pray, God, this to be the beginning of another Moody revival, only many times more powerful, that would sweep Chicago. And you, the people that's here tonight, if our dear Lord Jesus will come and manifest Himself, as I believe that He will, you are responsible then for Chicago from tonight henceforth, as individuals, after you have seen, and know, and examine His words, not throug...

God, may many find their way to the Word of God, the only way of life, for He is the Word. I pray for each one, Father. Sometimes in saying these things, it's not in cruelty, it's in love; because love is corrective. And I pray, God, that the people will understand it to be that way: that it is meant to be corrective. You who had to correct them, prayed for them at the cross saying, "Father, forgive them. They're blind; they just don't understand what they're doing." I pray for them ministers today who's crucifying...

...ocial standing for your business, or something. You stand out a little better in the neighborhood. It isn't a thing of really coming and repenting, like a sinner should do.

Oh, he should've fell upon his knees and ... when he first realized that it was who He was. And he saying, "Master, I have a message for You. But to first, I want You to forgive me."

Let us pray. Our heavenly Father, this is the night; this is the time when men must press to the Kingdom. This may be the last time that men here or women will ever hear. This may be the last opportunity. Death may take them before morning. This may be the last time that--that some people will ever set under a tent meeting. O God of heaven, speak will You, Lord. Oh, may the Holy Ghost take these few broke up words and sink them down into hearts. Then flash the Holy Spirit over the top of them that they'll come to l...
