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.

A Paradox

...and up, and that'll witness. That's all we have time to do. Say, "I want to be a Christian," stand to your feet, and then sit right back down. Is there one in the building? How many's in the building? I oughtn't to say, "Is there one?"; 'cause there might be more then one. How many in the building will stand right now, and say, "I have been wrong, God. Forgive me. I'll raise up, to give you testimony that I've been wrong. I'll sit down, while I'm here in Your presence. I'll sit down." And stand up? Is there one? Is...

And right in this same tabernacle, the voice of the man that wrote the song by inspiration from You, has many times went down through these aisles. His gallant soul rests in Your kingdom today. God, bless him. May his works long live. Forgive us of our trespasses, Father.

And may it be such a memorial to many as they pass by here in the days to come, if Jesus tarries. May they be able to say, "In that place God forgave my sins," or "In that place God healed me." May it be a time of history, Lord, might be mad...
