Will God forgive if we repent and sin again?

Full Question:

Will God forgive if we repent and sin again? When you sin you ask for forgiveness. Then you do the same thing again then you ask for forgiveness again. But along the way your getting better gradually?

Answer:

Each and every person who live in this world committing sins and committed sin after being in a relation with God need to know the answer for this question.

First of all I would like to give a brief description about certain terms in the question to make readers understand the answer more clearly to practice it in their life. One is 'sin' and it means when people do things against God or other people; when we do not obey the commands of God; when we do not do what God wants us to do; the evil things that are in us which we have from birth/were born with. The another term is repent and it means to turn from sin to do what God wants us to do; to decide not to do the bad things that you did before; when you turn your mind away from bad things.

Now we can see the answer which is very simple that, God will forgive if we repent and sin again, but we have to ask forgiveness again. May be you feel this answer so simple, but there is a lot to understand along with this answer. The most important thing is that, a person who repented truly for his sins from his heart can not fall into the same again on the next moment. But how can someone identify such a repentance? It is not possible for everyone to identify it cause it is only known by the repented one and God.

But we can say what a true repentance is. It is a feeling of realization which is occurred to that person that what he is doing is not right. It is like the person really feel guilty in front of God, himself and to the one who is affected by his sin. His heart should be in such a broken state that he can't admit and forgive himself for his sin. He become completely sorry and out of control for totally lost for what is happened. This can be a true repentance. A person who repented like this can never step into the same sin on the next moment. But always I used to say, it is better to sin and repent a 1000 times than to commit sins again and again without repenting which makes our heart hard, lose the goodness of your mind and even to step fall from the grace of God.

There is also an other possibility for committing sins again after repentance. It is due to the influence of some demonic spirit inside you which is related to the sin that you have committed. If these spirit is in you, it will drag you to commit the sin again and again even without any guilt. it is a bit difficult to get out of the sins which we commit by repenting and ask forgiveness, if that spirit is inside you. But is also possible, if we seek the help of God to get-out from the spirit which drag us to sin, God will surely help us by casting the demon out and to take victory over that sin.

Hope you got the answer. May God will help all of you to ask forgiveness for any sins you have committed after repenting and to continue in holiness, with this answer.
