Answer:

With respect to the sins - if anyone has realized and he hastens to seek forgiveness and does sincere repentance Allah will wipe out his sins.

Basically, shaytan wants us to lose hope, and continue in sinful ways so that slowly we become distant with out religion. Never give up hope of Allâh’s Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allâh’s Mercy, except the people who disbelieve. (Yusuf 12:87)

Allah commands (what means):

”…And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, that you might succeed.” [Quran 24:31] Allah also Says (what means):”…Indeed, Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and loves those who purify themselves.” [Quran 2:222] But whosoever repents after his crime and does righteous good deeds (by obeying Allaah), then verily, Allaah will pardon him (accept his repentance). Verily, Allaah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful [al-Maa’idah 5:39] O you who believe! Turn to Allaah with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will expiate from you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise)” [al-Tahreem 66:8] The gate of repentance is open to His slaves, until the sun rises from the west (day of judgement): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah spreads out His Hand at night to accept the repentance of those who did wrong during the day, and He spreads out His Hand during the day to accept the repentance of those who did wrong during the night. (This will continue) until the sun rises from the west.” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 2759)
