I am a Christian. I believe that when we turn back to the Father and repent of our sins, we are truly forgiven through Jesus' blood shed on the cross, and given new life through his resurrection and in the power of the Holy Spirit. (And as you can probably tell from that sentence, I am also a theologian with a postgraduate degree!)
But what does that forgiveness mean? What are the consequences of that forgiveness, as opposed to the consequences of my sin? When we are forgiven by God, do we still have to face some consequences of our wrongdoing, or are we given a genuine second chance?
