Sometimes I feel like I have gone over the "limit" of sin which I am allowed. While the Bible clearly teaches about the continual forgiveness of God (1 John 1:9) it also seems to suggest in Hebrews 10:26-31 that there is a point where we can no longer receive God s mercy. Is this right? -- Gav Young (Coventry)
Yes, the Bible does indicate there is a "limit." Let us all strive never to reach that point of no return (Proverbs 29:1 Hebrews 6:4). All sin repented of can be forgiven; and yet the consequences of the sin are not necessarily reversed (Galatians 6:7-8). As long as you and I do not give up, there is hope.
