What can I be saved? Any sins that can't be forgiven?
every sin can be forgiven and the fact that the Holy Spirit is convicting you of sin means he is prompting you to repent and accept the Gospel offer of forgiveness.

But "God is not mocked" - He sees the heart and will change your heart if you let Him.

On the other hand if you have confessed and repented - then Satan will tempt you to doubt God's forgiveness. Don't listen to Satan.

The blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the only sin that can't be forgiven (Matthew 12:31).

The Philippian jailer asked the same thing to Paul and Silas. "What can I do to be saved?" Paul and Silas respond with, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:30-31).

We all have sin, we have all been born into sin (Romans 3:23, Psalm 51:5). And we personally choose to sin. (Ecclesiastes 7:20, 1 John 1:8). Sin is what keeps us apart from God and sin is what leads us to hell.

Yes, the consequence of sin is death (Romans 6:23). When we sin, it's committed towards an eternal and infinite God (Psalm 51:4). So, the consequences for our sin is also eternal and infinite. We need to be saved from eternal destruction (Matthe 25:46, Revelation 20:15).

But, there's hope.

Since the just consequence, or penalty, for sin is infinite and eternal, only God could pay that penalty since he's infinite and eternal. But, since God could not die, God took on human flesh, lived among us, and taught us. He willingly sacrificed Himself for us, allowing Himself to be crucified. (John 10:15). Jesus' death on the cross had an eternal and infinite value.

JESUS' DEATH ON THE CROSS WAS THE PERFECT AND COMPLETE PAYMENT FOR OUR SIN (1 JOHN 2:2).

So, how can you be saved?

“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31). It's not your works, but His work on the cross. All you have to do is receive, in faith, the salvation God offers (Ephesians 2:8-9). Trust Jesus alone as the payment for the sins that you've committed, believe in him, and you won't perish (John 3:16).

How about repentance?
Yes, you must repent.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Acts 3:19

And remember, God is slow to anger.

For the Lord your God is gracious and compassionate. He will not turn his face from you if you return to him.

Thank you...My sins are awful.
I want to validate you. But, I also want to tell you the truth: All of our sins are awful.

I used to be very anxious whenever I messed up. I thought I was going to go to hell with every sin that I committed. Until one day, God told my, "I did it all on the cross for you." It was then that I knew that when I messed up, I had a gift of salvation waiting for me and within me because I accepted that gift.

Go and sin no more, repent from your old ways, lean into your Father who loves you so much.

The message about not going to hell is telling to avoid something negative, getting any encouragement out of that can be difficult. Here's something more positive, the target is much easier when aiming to to go to heaven and to spend eternity with Jesus your saviour and the one who will be yours for ever when you become part of the bride of Christ. There's a lot more encouragement in that!

Be encouraged and go forward with that goal in mind!

Good news! I pray that as the book of John says that you will confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart God has raised Him from the dead! For Jesus Christ died for all your sins and brought complete freedom in His Name.
