If we commit the same sin over and over again, will God continue to forgive us? Let’s see what the Bible says. Does God forgive repeated sins? The answer is yes, IF we are taking 2 necessary steps. The first step is to truly repent. If a sin is being repeated, it raises the question, “Have we sincerely repented?” Real repentance means changing from our way of breaking God’s laws (that is, sin) to obeying His Commandments (1 John 2:3-4). Repentance is more than just avoiding one sin. It is about surrendering our entire way of life to a life of obedience to God. (Romans 6) Repentance is driven by what is called a “godly sorrow”. 2 Corinthians 7 explains, “your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner… For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation… but the sorrow of the world produces death… What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves… what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication!” (2 Cor. 7:9-11) Godly sorrow creates in someone a powerful desire to change themselves, while worldly sorrow leads to guilt and shame but no lasting transformation. Having a powerful desire to change means modifying our life to overcome that sin. It includes not making “provision[s] (or preparations) for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” (Romans 13:14) But what happens when we try to change and find ourselves still repeating the same sin. That is a good question… and here are some things to consider. Are we only sorry because we don’t like the guilt and shame we feel after committing the sin, or are we sorry because we sinned against the God of the universe who loves us so much He allowed His Son to die for us? We must honestly ask, “Are we really and truly repenting? Or are we just asking for forgiveness so we feel better?” One leads to change while the other does not. Are we making the necessary changes in life to overcome, including no longer making it easy to fulfill our lusts and shameful desires (Romans 13:14), or is our life set up and prepared to commit the same sin again in the future? For example: if we’re repenting of smoking cigarettes, do we keep a pack in the drawer “just in case” or have we thrown them out entirely? If we’re repenting of using pornography, are we removing the triggers, are we making it easier to overcome or more difficult by what we view online. Jesus taught His disciples to take serious steps in changing their lives to get rid of all sin. Figuratively speaking He said, “If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you….” (Matt 5:29-30) Is this sin part of a totally wrong “way of life” we’re living, or is it committed in moments of weakness? For example: are we spending time with all the wrong people and keeping a lifestyle that lends itself to the same sin we keep repeating? Are we imploring God on our knees even with tears sometimes to change our heart and mind. Do we ask Him for strength to overcome and never commit that sin again? Or is our prayer just routine and lacking sincerity? Or, an even more important question—do we even pray about it at all? Real repentance involves continual overcoming even if we fall down again and again in a sin that has ruled our life for years and often even from childhood. A truly repentant person can fall short, but will not become more overtaken by the sin as the years go by. True repentance will create progress in the right direction even if it is slow. Overcoming is a constant fight. Some battles will be lost while others will be won. Repetitive sins are not easy to overcome. They are often the result of some form of addiction. But with God’s strength and a will to overcome, we can overcome. “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” (Phil 2:13) The time to begin repenting is always “right now.” Peter said, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins.” For God to forgive repeated sin, He wants to see that we're deeply sorry for the sin and zealously trying to overcome it. #forgivenessinchrist #overcomesin #repentance
