Even in this life people get 2nd chances. Not only that, but 10th, 100th, 1,000th, etc.
Even - apostates - (1 Tim.1:19-20) were being given - yet another - chance:
19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith.
20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times!
Luke 17:4
Even if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times returns to say, 'I repent,' you must forgive him."
Love covers a - multitude - of sins.
***Above all***, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
"Mercy triumphs over judgement" - Love Omnipotent (God)
You cannot sin beyond the ability of God's grace to save you:
"where sin increased, grace abounded all the more"
"I tell you, her sins--and they are many--have been forgiven"
If you want to know how much God loves you, look to the incarnation, life, sufferings, and crucifixion of Christ. His love & power for you are greater than the size of the universe:
