"You cannot get into heaven if you're guilty of a single sin when you get to the entrance of heaven. Every sin has to be forgiven. And there's no way for sin to be forgiven except by Jesus Christ's work on the cross. When He died on that cross and shed His blood, God accepted that sacrifice in your place. In other words, you won’t have to face the day of judgment. You won’t have to spend a single moment in hell. You will be forgiven, every sin, washed away. On the cross, God is saying something to all of us: 'I love you. I love you. I love you so much that I’m willing to let My own Son die for you.' The angels in heaven couldn’t believe it. They stood ready, swords drawn, 72,000 of them, prepared to come down and rescue the Son of God from the cross. But He never called them. Instead, He said: 'I came to do the will of My Father.' And He fulfilled that will by dying and shedding His blood on the cross for you. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. That blood was shed for you. That love was for you. And today, because of that sacrifice, you can stand clean, forgiven, and ready to enter heaven if you believe and accept Him as your Savior."

Atonement for your sins is not something you can achieve through your own efforts, rituals, or good deeds. The Bible teaches that sin separates us from God, and no amount of good works can bridge that gap. However, the good news is this: God Himself has made atonement possible through Jesus Christ The Bible says, “Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22). Jesus died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. His death paid the penalty we deserved, and His resurrection conquered sin and death. You don’t atone for your sins; Jesus already did it for you. What you do is accept His atonement by faith. Penance is often misunderstood as a way to “earn” forgiveness by doing good deeds or punishing yourself for past sins. It is not. That’s not biblical at all. True penance, if we must use that term, is about repentance. Repentance means recognizing your sin, feeling genuine sorrow for it, and turning away from it towards God. It’s not about earning forgiveness but about responding to God’s grace with a changed heart and life, a genuine change. 1. Admit your sins to God honestly and humbly. 1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 2. This means not just feeling sorry but turning away from sin and seeking to live differently, with God’s help. 3. Believe that His sacrifice on the cross is enough to cover every sin you’ve committed, no matter how big or small - One question might arise: isn’t this too easy? Can’t I just sin and ask for forgiveness later? No. Real faith and repentance involve a transformation of your heart. If someone says: "I’ll just sin now and ask for forgiveness later": that shows they haven’t truly understood God’s grace. Imagine you deeply hurt someone you love. Would you casually keep hurting them, assuming they’ll always forgive you? Love compels you to change. The same is true with God. **When you truly accept Christ, you won’t want to live in sin anymore.** Conclusion: no. God cannot be deceived. He sees the heart (1 Samuel 16:7). Repentance isn’t about saying the right words or putting on a show, it’s about a genuine transformation. If you were trying to manipulate the Creator of the universe, wouldn’t that prove you’re not truly repentant? God’s forgiveness is freely offered, but it’s not cheap. It cost Him His Son. If someone approaches forgiveness like a loophole, it shows they haven’t understood God’s love, grace, or justice.
