After you are saved, what if you commit a willful sin/s? Does God forgive?

Answer 1

God realises that we are not perfect. Just because you are saved he knows we are still going to muck up the only difference is that he has forgiven sins past present and future,

Answer 2

It depends on the truth you know in God's commandments.

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Hebrews 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

As the saying goes "Ignorance of the law is not an excuse"
The Bible does not conform in this saying.

Ignorance of God's law sometimes excuse you.

James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Answer 3

God will forgive you 1 John 1:9 " If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness ". As a believer ,If you willingly continue you to sin ,God will chastise you ( punish )ex.. if your being unfaithful he might give you a disease..steal, he might have you spend some time behind bars etc. Proverbs 15:3 " The eyes of the Lord are in everyplace, beholding the evil and the good ".

Answer 4

Consider this Verse.

Hbr 10:26 ¶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,


Hbr 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Answer 5

When you are saved God forgives you of all your sins, past, present and future. This means God will not judge you of all your sins which Jesus had paid for on your behalf on the cross. The sin issue between God and you is settled by the blood of Jesus forever (Hebrews 10:10,12, 14). God's desire is that we repent of our sins that is to change our minds about them and not do them again. If we do not repent and carry on sinning we have to pay the price of our sins on earth. We also are poor witnesses for Christ and have not taken advantage of His abundance of grace and the gift of His righteousness to reign on life (Romans 5:17). The only wilful sin that disqualifies us from being saved is not believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, not accepting the saving power of His blood and not responding to the conviction of the Holy Spirit that we are sinners in need of Jesus Christ as our Savior. One can have full knowledge of God's word without accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.. The devil is certainly one of them, the Pharisees and many liberal theologians as well.

Answer 6

Hebrews 10:26 say's: 'For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left.'

Answer 7

we all fall short, we all stumble, and we all fall short of the glory of god. the bible says ask and ye shall recieve. jesus died for your sins, the day he was on that cross. he took all of mankinds sins and gave his life for you to have a choice, accept or reject him. regardless if the sins are willful or not, you committed them, but god is always ready to take you back. god is like a father and you are his child, he watches out for you, he protects you the best he can. he will always forgive you. just remember ask for salvation and you will recieve it.

Answer 8

Yes, God forgives. If you believe the Gospel, then you are forgiven all sins past, present, and future.

Answer 9

Only with sincere repentance.

This is why Romans talks about how the saved person almost "hates" their humanness. We still sin, but hate sin. We come to hate this life and desire heaven.

Answer 10

Ted Haggard believes that God forgave him. I think that most evangelicals would answer 'yes'.
