		<description>God forgives all sin through His son Jesus Christ. Even after you are saved you will either sin willfully, or accidently. It&#039;s a struggle we will have until the day we die or the day Christ returns. It has a grip on our fleshly lives. The only thing that God would not forgive is basically having a heart that says I can continue to sin, never repent and not pay for it. That is what&#039;s meant in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 26-31. If you continue forever without the conviction in your conscious or heart, then the sacrifice is in non affect. But if you continue to confess and trust in Him to wash away your sin with a willful heart even if you make a decision to sin when you&#039;re weak, if you return to Him he will forgive you. You just got to know who you will seek. The ways of the devil, or the ways of the Lord. I continue to struggle with sin, and I&#039;m sure every other Christian that believes in Christ still sins without thinking about what they are doing. God is still God, He is love, he is righteous, He is merciful, etc. to those whom believe and trust in Him through His son Jesus Christ. It is Grace by Faith alone, because no man can keep the law, not one; Christ came to fullfil the law which we could not keep. So study God&#039;s Word and place it in your heart. Live with it, you will fall short, but Jesus Christ&#039;s blood cleanses you in the present always as a believer in Him in your heart. Trust that, not what other men say, or the devil&#039;s lies, read the Word of God. Those are his promises to believers. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Turn to Him.</description>

		<description>Yes, and we praise Him indeed “for letting us encounter His greatness.”  It is in our weakness that He can use us mightily; for after forgiveness comes the reward of serving our King, of “being on His team”.  
The question might arise “How come God&#039;s forgiveness is limitless?”  The answer comes from the big picture of God&#039;s plan for mankind.  In Romans 5:12-14  we read:  12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned— 13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.  NIV.
God created only one man, Adam, and from him came all of mankind.  Then one man, Jesus, could die for one man Adam and all his descendants!    (We might say that Jesus could die a thousand times for a thousand fallen angels, as they were individually created; but that was not in God&#039;s plan.)  It was God&#039;s plan, however, from the beginning that all mankind could be redeemed by Jesus&#039; death.  Also, as Jesus rose and ascended into heaven, so we will ascend into heaven to be with the Lord.  This gift of eternal life is for everyone, yet only those who want to accept this great gift are able to receive it.</description>

		<description>Thanks a lot for your sharing. I am surprised to actually see someone out there also thinking about this question..just how much will God forgive? especially for my repeated weakness. Reading this brings comfort and confirmation that God&#039;s forgiveness is not the same as our sense and understanding of forgiving someone because they apologize or what not. God&#039;s definition and impact of forgiving is immeasurable and uncontainable by words alone. 

When we&#039;re so not worth it in our own eyes, God finds us the most precious and still continues to dwell in us and empower us to do much more than what we can do alone by way of the Holy Spirit.

Praise God for letting us encounter His greatness. (:</description>

		<description>Servant&#039;s Heart, 

I can understand where you are coming from. Every Christian struggles with feelings of inadequacy in light of our Father&#039;s perfection. However, take a look at these verses again:
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” (1John 1:9) “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” (Psalm 103:12)

God has already forgiven you! You just have to confess them to Him. But once he forgives you, you need to move on - He has already forgiven, forgotten and moved on. You need to do the same. He loves you so much that for you to be so focused on your sin, it is hard for you to focus on His love and grace. I encourage you to focus on the fact that you are forgiven and loved and not on how you aren&#039;t perfect. If you would like to talk to someone about this further or just receive prayer, &lt;a href=&quot;http://powertochange.com/experience/talk-to-a-mentor/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;you can contact one of our mentors for free&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>The more I want to avoid sinning, the more I felt worthless.. Felt so weak and vulnerable.. I really want to please and love HIM but dont hv the strength to do so.. If God really counts our wrongdoing, then I am the most.. :(

Is Christian really about perfection..? How did the others do it?</description>

		<description>This is a good question because I am sure I am not the only one to struggle with it...how much does God forgives me?  When we have guilt we don&#039;t think rationally so we ask ourselves...Have I reach my limit?</description>
