Does God forgive a person of sin after knowing the truth of sin and God’s will for our life? Does God forgive a Christian who sins? Hebrews 10:26

First of all, “Knowing” the Truth and “Acknowledging” the Truth that initiates New Covenant relationship are two-different things. Does God forgive the Christian who sins? A true Christian does not find pleasure in sin and seeks to avoid sin at all cost; therefore, no Christian willfully continues to live in sin and rebellion, a life of willful sin runs contrary to a life seeking intimacy with our Creator (2 Corinthians 5:17). With that said, every Christian sins in word, thought or deed due the old Adamic sin-nature that is integral with the flesh (Romans 7).

The Christian has been forgiven of past, present, future, sin via New Covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12); hence, the inclusion of 1 John 1:9 given the Christian to “restore intimacy” with our Lord when we compromise with our old sin nature…we ask forgiveness not to restore divine relationship which is secure in Jesus and Guaranteed by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14), but we ask forgiveness to restore intimacy and fellowship much like we apologize to a good friend for wronging them…the relationship is secure but we can offend our friend and that offense creates a chasm…we apologize to our friend to restore intimacy, no different with our God. The relationship between the Christian and the Father is secure by New Covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14; Hebrews 8:12) but intimacy is realized through obedience, the production of divine fruit (John 15:8; Galatians 5:16-23).
