If “god” is real then why does he not judge every soul based upon their life actions and morals over their “following”. If said god is real and this is really what happens id bet it’s based upon your actions and morals over the cult like following
So from my understanding, once you believe in Jesus Christ, you have the opportunity to ask God for forgiveness.
When you go to the Father, you ask him for forgiveness based on the sacrifice that you bring.
Back then, you would have to bring an animal sacrifice such as a lamb. But because of Jesus, you can simply ask for forgiveness in the name of Jesus Christ, specially by his blood.
Once you ask for forgiveness in the name of the blood of Christ, you are made perfect.

So, what happens if you are made clean by the blood of Christ, and you commit a sin after that? Does the blood of Christ have protection over future sins? Not so. This is where different denominations have differing opinions.
My personal opinion is that you have to apply the blood of Christ daily, over new sins. And if you are constantly applying the blood of Christ over old sins and old habits, then you have to ask yourself if you are truly living a Godly life.
If you keep backsliding into pornography , and you keep asking God to forgive you based on the blood of Jesus Christ, you must also ask him to fill you with the Spirit of Christ (that is the Holy Spirit) which gives you the Power to repent. To repent means to be saved from the sin altogether so that the sin no longer has mastery over your life.
Blood of Christ is like a healing potion,
But repentance means you don't get injured by the same source anymore.
God has the power not only to forgive you for all your sins, but to also save you from sinful habits completely.
This includes homosexuality, and all manner of sexual deviance. This includes pride.
Once you commit the same sin over and over and over again, you may be inviting a demon. There is the sin of lust but there is also the demon of lust. A demon of lust can only affect a Christian when he falls into lust repeatedly, thus opening a door.
Can a Christian who has the Holy Spirit of Christ also be affected by demons? Absolutely yes! Christians are the prime target for demonic infestation. Christians are lighthouses and demons want to snuff out that light.
Once the demon of lust is expelled from a Christian, the demon will try desperately to re-enter his life. This is why we must pray and fast daily, to apply the blood of Christ daily in our lives, and to fan the flame of the Holy Spirit that we may grow bolder and more perfect.
