Christ sacrifice on the cross satisfied the price due for the sins of His people. The work was done, complete. As a believer, when I go to God, confessing my sins, it is not so much for forgiveness, as my sins, past, present and future, have been forgiven, it is to acknowledge my sins, and restore fellowship with God. When we sin, we break fellowship with God. It is restored through confession to God and repentance.

Because we were born in Sin and no matter what we say or do we all are sinners and should avoid near occasion of Sin. Jesus died on the cross to wash away our Sins....[he loved us that much]
So when we Sin again and there will be annnnolther...it is washed away automatically each and every time you pray for forgiveness because Jesus was crucified for us to have that opportunoity to be cleaned again and again and again which doesn't make Sinners a scape goat to pray to be forgiven because you keep making the same Sins over and ovaer again, so you have to tyr to stop that and do your best to avoid the Sin thus leaving one Sin down and many many more to og. NO matter how nice you try to be....you are still subject to death at anytime....NO matter how many times you go to Church, you could have a death in your family with one of your children that are so young and innocent.....NO matter how many times you are forgiven...even as Christians we are all unclean in the eyes of God, so you must be washed, born again spiritually to be cleansed and take an opportunity to Sin for life...with JESUS ON YOUR SIDE....that was'nt meant to be funny that is a fact!

The Lord Jesus died on the cross for our sins 2,000 years ago as an objective fact but we need to believe into Him to receive the efficacy of His redemption subjectively today for our eternal salvation and experience His forgiveness everytime we sin again to restore our broken fellowship with Him.

Fact is the Bible says you got to save yourself by plucking out the eye or cutting off the hand that leads you to sin, so Jesus could not die for your sin.
When you look at the purpose of the Bible it acts as a cover-up for the crucifixion of two thieves named Jesus by the Romans who have tricked the World for just about 2000 years.

If you love God/Jesus and then you sin then afterwards you should feel true remorse and WANT to pray for forgiveness. I always know that I am undeserving but forgiven through God's/Jesus's sacrifice (thank you Lord)!

I think the person who people should be getting forgiveness from is themselves. The definition of "sin" is so subjective, even the most fundamentalist Christians pick and choose which of God's laws, as set forth in the New Testament, should be followed.
Sin is defined from within and it is only from within can you be forgiven. Unfortunately for most that is also the hardest of atonements.

Because since we died to sin, we are supposed to be consumed by righteousness. Naturally since we have remnants of the sinful nature we should still repent when we sin, just to show that we are pursuing righteousness.

Because they feel that if they keep doing their "sins" and they always ask for forgiveness, that gives them the right to do it every day. So, why not just do it everyday without asking for anything?

It's not like once you're saved you stop sinning. We are sinful by nature, but we are forgiven, when we ask for it, by the Grace of God. Once you're saved we need to strive to be more Christlike, but we are not perfect and we do make mistakes and thats why we need to ask for forgiveness.

Because we have free will.
First,we must believe in Jesus Christ our Savior,if we believe ,we must say that (to say meen an accept) and live our believe.
Second,for take from the benefice of the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ,we must reconized our sins,we must regret them, and ask for the Help of Jesus Christ,(not formal, from all our hearts,God sees our hearts), and say Thank you for God Father for gives to us His Son for save our souls.
Happy New Year In God!
