Ask yourself,
(1) "Does God condemn you?" and remember Romans 8:1 which says "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."
(2) "Is He angry with you?" and remember Isaiah 12:1 which says "“I will give thanks to you, O LORD, for though you were angry with me, your anger turned away, that you might comfort me."
It doesn't matter what sin we did to God. Our response is what matters. And God tells us that He is forgiving, and He still wants us to remain to Him. We are always welcome to return to Him regardless of the sin we committed.
“Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless. For the sake of his great name the Lordwill not reject his people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own."
-1 Samuel 12:20-22
See? Even if we sin, God's love never changes. It remains the same. He knows how incapable we are to do good, that's why our righteousness is not based on our own good works, but rather on Jesus. What He wants from us is to return to Him, and remain in Him.
