Biblical Christianity is about the relationship with God. That is the point, not the performance. Because our performance is sinful, imperfect, we need something to bridge the gap to permit a relationship with a holy God, and because Christ suffered the wrath of God about for our sin, and because we repent of our sin continuously, and thank Jesus for doing that on our behalf, uniting us with our Creator for eternity, we are forgiven - knowing that we will improve our behavior by God’s grace, but we will sin. The difference between our sin and that of non believers is that it’s forgiven, if we are repentant, and we will have eternal life with God. So, whereas other religions are about obeying laws in the hopes of pleasing gods or God, Christianity is about loving God and having a relationship with God. It begins with faith in Him.

- 7 X 70 = 490. The point is imo there is no limit if one is truly repentant.
