A true believer repents and is forgiven, but since the flesh is still sinful, a true believer still sins but he does not want to sin and he no longer lives an urepentant sinful life. Whenever he sins, he must confess his sins and ask forgiveness from the Lord Jesus Christ and he will be forgiven. Go here : www.atruechurch.info, believe and be saved.

You worship out of being thankful for what was done for you. You should worship gladly and be happy while doing it, knowing the price for you was paid and that He took your place.
Yes, as long as you believe and accept Jesus as savior and Lord, you will go to heaven, regardless of your sin. If you accept the gift to be made clean, He will clean you. You should avoid sin at all cost, but as human beings we all slip and stumble. Just ask that you be forgiven when you do and get back on the path.

Jesus didn't die for sins he died for you. Sinful acts are the fruit of a sinful, broken relationship with God. Sinful acts, committed against God and man, are a sign that something is wrong with your relationship with God/Jesus. Believing in Jesus as saviour means believing he has saved us in order to be in relationship to him. Coming into relationship with Jesus makes us a new creation as Paul says, the old ways have gone. If you find yourself living in the old ways maybe you are still the old you. Obedience is a combination of knowledge and action, or taking what you believe and putting it into practice.

That is truely being ungreatful to Christ.
That is the reason for our downfall. You are forgiven because that is Christ's nature. By forgiving you he is considering , that for your ignorance, this is only expected.
However you should repent for the sins that you do and come good in the eyes of Christ. You should be faithful to Him.

...Our sins are forgiven "if" we ask... and repent... it's not a revolving door... or being a Sunday Saint and a Monday Ain't ... God clearly will forgive us... and more then once, (praise God)... but don't play Him for a fool... The Scripture is correct in saying... "My Spirit will not always strive with man"... we can, but our foolish behavior become "reprobate" in our sin(s) and God will say... "game over"... that's why the Scripture also says... "we work out our Salvation with fear and trembling"... Bottom Line... you're forgiven but learn by your mistake and don't continue to sin...

Those who repent and accept the atonement are forgiven as their debt has been paid they by faith have been changed and now are no longer under the law but changed to the righteousness of God. It is by faith we say we are made new as we are yet in our sinful bodies in the sinful world and he who endures to the end is truly saved. We by faith say that the man of sin died on the cross with Christ and we are by faith resurrected with him to worship God in spirit and truth.

This is what people just don't get, a person who is truly repentant will not repeat their mistake and they will turn away from the sin and change their lives completely.
That is what God expects of us, a murderer can truly be repentant if he rehabilitates himself and shows the world that he will never do it again. God can even forgive him for murdering if he is truly remorseful.

Under God's system of justice, even Christians must apologize for their sins, be sorry for them, and truly repent, in order to receive forgiveness.
Absent that, all bets are off.

You have to repent, ask for forgiveness, and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart. It is only through Jesus that we are saved and by the Grace of God that we are forgiven.
