Does God still love me and forgive me when I keep sinning?

Chuck Smith, Answers for Today, chapter 11: You can only feel it as you believe His promise to you: God’s love is unconditional. God doesn’t love good children and hate bad children. God loves good and bad children alike! You need to realize that glorious grace God has extended toward you and receive His love and grace—even though you realize more and more how totally undeserving you are of that love. I have discovered that accepting grace gracefully is difficult, but I’m slowly learning how to do it. “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:8–9). What is the sin for which a man will be condemned? It’s the rejection of Jesus Christ. I have accepted Him. I still may be weak and fail, but at the base of my life is a love and a desire for Jesus Christ. That’s what He counts for my righteousness—my faith in Him! Scripture, King James Version: 1 John 1:8-9, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.". From Chuck Smith's books, used by permission of The Word For Today.
