I would like to assure you that your sins have been forgiven you according to the Bible, and that at the moment you accepted by faith Jesus Christ as Lord and savior into your life, and Repented of your sins with sincerity, that you have been what the Bible refers to as ''Born Again.''
Romans 5:1 ''Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,''
2 Corinthians 5:17 '' Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.''
2 Corinthians 5:17 shows us that we are now New Creations in Christ, since we have become Born Again. Now that means that no matter what you have done in your past it has no affiliation with who you have now become thanks to Christ's redemptive work with his death on the cross...so you shouldn't feel like you are not acceptable because of what you did in the past.
Now when it comes to Gods grace we have to be cautious that we do not take advantage of it, we cannot continue to walk in sin...
Romans 6:1-4 ''What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.''
That bit of scripture states that we should not continue in sin, but that we should walk in newness of life.
We can also look at Romans 12:1-2
Romans 12:1-2 ''I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.''
We need to be transformed by the Renewing of our minds, and that would come about by reading Gods word and praying on a daily basis.
Jesus said in John 14:15 ''If you love Me, keep My commandments.''
Also we must consider what John said about truly knowing the Lord in the Book of 1 john.
1 John 2:3-4 ''Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.''
Being obedient to the commandments that Christ has given us is an essential part of being a Christian Aka [A Follower of Christ], because it shows that first of all we Love the Lord, and secondly that we truly know the Lord.
Nevertheless, if we do happen to transgress or (Sin Willfully) 1 John also tells us:
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''
1 John 2:1-2 ''My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.''
And lastly...
1 John 3:9 ''Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.''
1 John 3:9 is telling us that since we have become children of god, we cannot continue to go on sinning any longer, we must refrain from doing so.
I would just encourage you to Continue to seek the Lord each and every day and to read his word so that you can better understand the ways of God and his plan for each one of us. As well as not allow room for the enemy to come along and condemn you, because we all know he loves to do that. : P
God bless,
