That's a very good question cutiepie and one that Christians have a hard time answering.
To take the question to the next level, if God knows everything, then he already knows who will accept Jesus as per the Christian doctrine anyway, so the whole game is therefore rigged and God is just messing with our heads.
On the other hand, there is no such thing as sin. Sin is defined and has been redifined through the ages by men according to the power they have over congregations and what they find they find 'sinful' in their own eyes.
My advice, don't worry about it. One day we'll all outgrow religion and we'll quit killing each other off for such faulty ideas as religions beget.

Jesus suffered and died for all sins so that they would be forgiven, have you seen The Passion, when you see the wounds, cuts and imagine the unbearable pain the he must have suffered and to know that it was not just for those past but also for us, you, me everyone, I have cried to know that a sin of mine was a cause to his suffering. To love people that much deserves concern when considering a sin, and if you have to consider it then you already know it is a sin.

Worry? no. Yes believers sins are forgiven by the sacrifice of Christ, but we still sin from time to time. It happens, we are still human. When we sin, we break fellowship with God. It can only be restored by acknowledging our sin and asking forgiveness. It happens this way on the human level. If you have a friend who sins against you, say, lies to you. Your reaction would be to shun them or not want anything to do with them. The only way to restore this friendship is for the offender to admit their wrong then ask forgiveness. And, of course, being the decent person you are, you will accept their apology and restore the friendship,

Because as Christians we are to act according to the teachings of Christ and we should strive to be more like Christ who is known as the only perfect man to ever walk the earth. We recieve forgiveness because Christ paid the price for us but that does not mean we can go out and do the same thing over and over again and still every time ask for forgiveness... It doesn't work that way It does say that you have to come to God with a truth in your heart and you must repent for your sin

no. We are redeemed from sin, but we need to work on our acts too. Bad habits are not going to disappear by a wink of an aye. We need to cultivate our good deeds because narrow it is the path to heaven and not alot of people can make it. Not all people who says Lord Lord goes to heaven, but those who do the will of the Father. Even Jesus was tempted. We will always be tempted too in life. But we need to make sure we make the right choices like Jesus did. There is no free lunch in this world.

Galatians 5:24
"Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."
Hebrews 10:26-27
"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God."

I'm a firm believer in the birth of Jesus and in his life. But I don't believe he died for our sins. No person accounts for another person's sins. We are all accountable for our own sins. Just know that Jesus did pray (to God) for us, and we should pray him as well. That's all.

The forgiveness that is in Jesus Christ is conditional upon "repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ" (Acts 20:21). It is a gift that God offers to everyone, but individuals must receive it by repenting and trusting in Christ, or they will remain dead in their sins. No one has biblical grounds to continue in sin, assuming that they are safe just because Jesus died on the cross.
Have you ever told a lie, stolen, or used God's name in vain?
God will not hold you guiltless for using His name in vain. If you have done these things, you, by your own admission, are a lying, thieving, blasphemer at heart.
That is why Jesus hung on the cross, died, and rose from the dead in 3 days. As payment for yours and my sins. So that you wouldn't have to bear God's wrath and punishment for sinners, in hell.
I am the worst of sinners.

Hebrews 10:26
For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
If you continue to sin and you know it, His blood does not cover you, His sacrifice was in vain to you.
we are called to not practice, or do sin knowingly. We may stumble, He will be there to help us back up.

Because is adds to Jesus' suffering on the cross. And it saddens God.
There is not a one of the true Christian Faith who will tell you they are not a sinner. All have. and all will continue to do so. Untill The faithfull recieve their incoruptable bodies in Heaven and those who have rejected receive what they are to receive.
