The Bible says God will forgive us if we are truly sorry. That's why Jesus died for our sins. The number "70 x 7" means that He will forgive us unlimited number of times - 7 is God's perfect number, which is why it's used frequently in the Bible.

Yes, I believe our Father forgives IF (and this is the BIG part) you TRULY ask for forgiveness, which means you feel it in your heart, repent and know the wrongness of your ways...and NOT just lip service to help yourself.
I'm not sure about the 490 thing, unless you mean the number of times God says WE as humans will have to forgive...which I know it says somewhere in the bible we will have to do ___number of times (700 times over????) not sure.

I think that whenever you do something wrong, he will put you through something similar to teach you a lesson. That way, when you think of doing something bad again, your lesson will cross your mind. It's called growing up, going through experiences, hard times, learning & moving on. All those help you become a better person.

He promises He will if we ask for forgiveness with a sincere, repentant heart.
If we as human parents would forgive our child when asked for forgiveness, it makes sense to me that Our Heavenly Father would forgive His children when they honestly ask.
Have a blessed day!

God forgives sins if you ask for forgiveness. Any 'punishment' would be your conscious - knowing you are doing something wrong and doing it anyway. Trust that gut feeling -
God forgives and you know that hence your question

I think there is forgiveness. But I don't understand 490 times.
