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.

How many of you is seeking the Holy Ghost and has never received it, yet? This is your time. We're waiting. They're coming down out of the balconies and around, getting in. Gathering around. This is the hour of your decision. Will you come to God and make the old fashioned confession? Will you come and say, "God, I'm guilty. I'm guilty of doing wrong. Forgive me, God. Take me into Your care and Your confidence tonight. I promise you, I will serve you." To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I co...

In my life I've made many mistakes. I've done lots of things that's wrong. I'll probably, if I live much longer, I'll do many more. Perhaps some of them will be stumbling blocks in your way. I hope that you forgive me. I was reading of Abraham---how that the frustrations that he had, how that he... My, the things that he did! He doubted God, and he lied about his wife, and everything. But when his divine commentary was written in Romans 4, it never mentioned his mistakes, but said, "Abraham never staggered at the ....

...a little crucifix hanging in my car. I got one at my home, a cross." That's all right. But that ain't what it is. That's not what He's talking about. You've got to see that God knows that you are a sinner, and that you have confessed your sins and God put your iniquity upon Him, upon Himself, and become a man. He crossed his strain and come down from being God to be man that He might die in your stead, to give Hisself for you. And you confessed your sin. And not a manufactured Clorox, but a power of God that was ma...

Would you be ashamed of Him? If you are, come to the altar and repent of your sins. If you're not ashamed of Him, and you're ashamed of your life that you've presented to Him, such an awful thing. You've been ashamed many times, before the boss, before your woman friend, before your man friend, before your girl friend or boy friend. You've been ashamed of Him, Immanuel dwelling in you. Raise your hands and say, "God, forgive me for being ashamed."

...all we speak to this One now, that this is written after. Kind Heavenly Father, we address Thee in Jesus' name, thanking Thee for this scripture, and for being alive today. Many things has changed in the world. Times has changed, transportation's changed, people has changed, but Thy Word never changes. It's forever the same. And I thank Thee for it. And may that same lovely Jesus, and the faith of this blind man who could stop the Master on His road, may it stop Him tonight. Many of the people here that are sick, a...
