If you were a Christian once, but have strayed away from the church (and God) will God still take you back? Can the sins you have done after being a Christian still be forgiven?

God gave every one a "holy" spirit in the beginning (birth) ... until you turn away from Him. It means, everybody has His given spirit and of course He wants to retrieve back all His people to live with Him in paradise.
So, He understand well, that when you were led astray earlier, means you were just misled by parents, friends & environment or un-exposed, or un-introduced about the goodness and truth about God. God will be very patient in guiding you, waiting for your understanding to develop and He will send people inviting you to accept God in your heart.
When you were led astray in later years with well developed intellectual and analytical prowess... it just means...you willingly choose evil than goodness... or satan than God (whom God was deeply hurt)... or choose eternal burning of your spirit in hell than eternal happiness with us in heaven.
...but God will always try to forgive you...
So, be sure if you`ll come back to God...it comes from the bottom of your heart, make Him happy this time, make Him smile in every action you make, let Him felt satisfied and happy to witness that you willingly choose Him over Satan, in every seconds of your life...
...and your forgiveness will become very, very, very meaningful.

Oh, yes! I am living proof of that.
I strayed for twelve years, and did many things I'm not proud of. God still took me back.
One time, when I was still wandering in the darkness, I started praying. I told God that He had probably given up on me, that there was no hope for me. I heard a voice, which I KNOW was God, and He said, "If I had given up on you, you would be dead by now."
So I thought about that for a few years, while I was struggling to accept God, and I realized that the voice was right. There were many times I should have died and didn't.
God doesn't give up on what is His.

God loves all child of his.
Pray everyday, every minute, every second, every hour.. pray for forgiveness, pray for help, pray to feel relieved.
Sins can be forgiven, but pray. Love God with all your heart, God knows..
No human have not sin, everyone have sins.. but pray and love God, then God will wash away our sins. Provided you really love God.
All the best, and don't stray again.

God never changes even when we stray. We have all strayed away at some time.

Read the prodigal son.
That is Christian love. Have a good read and understand it. God will always take you back if you ask for forgiveness.

In one of the Prophet's hadeeths, we learn that the people Allah love the most are sinners who repernt and ask for forgiveness after they go astray. And if all people turned saints who did not sin, Allah would created other people who sinned to repent as ask for forgiveness.
The worst treat in your relation with Allah is DESPAIR!
Don't despair. Allah is the Most Merciful
Peace

no longer all pastors are preaching such as you're describing. yet you're certainly precise. This sort of preaching is extremely standard now a days sweeping very without postpone in the time of this united states . lots of your mega church homes and prosperity form preachers are preaching this kinda message. i'm able to assure you no longer all preachers are like this. there are a number of dazzling adult men and lady of God preaching Gods be conscious the way it became into meant to be preached precise out of the bible. The bible talks approximately fake instructors coming in among us contained in the final days preaching to itching ears. in actuality telling human beings what they like to pay attention. All i'm able to assert is that if those instructors do no longer turn and repent from their approaches i does not prefer to be them come judgment day... very stunning submit...God bless you !

Yes, you can be forgiven, it is called back-sliding, but God always takes you back, He loves you.

Have you read the story Jesus told about the shepard who left his 99 sheep to go looking for 1 lost one?
Has He come looking for you?
Jump back into His loving arms.
