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.

Forsaking all
62-0123 §41
But I want to say this too (hurry up as quick as we can), God will not, in no wise, be in debt to any man. God won't be debted to any man. If you have did that for God, forsaken all, God will repay you a thousand fold. That's right. God will pay it back. You forsake the things of the world, and the world, and the things of the world and God will repay you so many times! How many's a witness of that here tonight? Why, we all know that God will repay.
Is this the sign of the end sir?

You are God, and there is no other but You. Receive us, Lord. Forgive us of our sins. I am repenting for all of my unbelief, for all of my iniquity. I plead on the altar of God. As I come tonight with this little church before me, by faith we move from this building in rapture, as we sit together in heavenly places around the throne of God. Our hearts have been warmed many times in the things that we've seen You do and unfold your mysteries to us. But, Lord, tonight I'm all weary. Woe is me. As Jacob, when he saw t...

You don't know what that does to you. They do. When times are going, there's no one can take the touch of a real sweet wife. Right. Well, if God could've give a man something better, He'd have done it. I thought, "What a sweet little thing she could be." I said, "I want to ask you something. Didn't you never in your life ever feel like that you'd like to have a hubby and have little babies and be like...?" She said, "Sure, Mr. Branham." She said, "That'd be the desire of my heart." Well, a woman can't think that an...

Let us bow our heads now while we speak to Him in a word of prayer. Gracious Father, the Author of life, and the Giver of all good spiritual gifts, forgive us, O Lord, of our sins and our shortcomings. And we just bow our heads towards the dust; there's just something goes through us. We know we're then in the Presence of God. For Jesus has told us, if we'd ask the Father anything using His name, He'd be there to hear and give it. And we know that we're talking directly to You. And we'd ask for mercy. Many times th...

...nds, back down yonder some hundreds of years ago, when there stood Jehoshaphat standing there by the side of King Ahab. And a little spirit down in his heart, still left of God, though he had made a mistake, told him, said, "This is wrong. This is wrong. It's not clean. It's not holy. The prophet has said these things couldn't go on like this." And the little fire of God woke him up. And then You had somebody to answer that little fire, which was Micaiah, the true prophet of God. Though he might have come up there...
