Sexual sins are dangerous and can bring a host of potential consequences. However, they are not beyond God's forgiveness. The gospels record Jesus often forgiving sexual sins and freeing women from sexual shame. Christians believe that Jesus forgives their sins enough to allow them into heaven, but they must still bear the weight of their sins on earth. This can lead to feelings of shame and guilt, which are seen as God's way of leading people towards confession and freedom.
