If a Christian sins over and over and confesses will God forgive him?

Question:

If a Christian sins purposefully again and again and keeps asking for forgiveness, will God forgive him?

Answer:

First, we again bring up the thought that this person may not truly be saved. But, if he truly is, then 1 John 1:9 would apply to this person. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” The Word is full of examples of saints who fell into sin. These can teach us and warn us that we can also fall into sin if we are not following the Lord closely.  However, if we confess our sins to the Lord, He is faithful and just … He will forgive and cleanse us.
