If you break the law of chastity what is the process of repentance, I’ve heard that there’s a lot of things you need to do when youve broken that law.. But what does it involve? Do you ever get forgiven for that serious sin? Can you ever be worthy again? Or are you just “used goods”?

A life of sin can be cleansed and changed through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Hi friend. No child of God is ever "used goods." Even the worst of sinners still has infinite worth in our Heavenly Father's eyes.

Recovering from sin through forgiveness is the central teaching of Christianity. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, it is certainly possible to repent. We all sin. What good would religion be if it didn't provide us a way to make things right with God?

Breaking the law of chastity is a very serious sin. Assuming the sin was committed with a full understanding of its severity, the repentance process won't necessarily be easy, but with Christ's help it is definitely possible. I love the scripture in Isaiah that states: "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (Isaiah 1:18).

If you're a member of our church, I suggest you chat with your bishop about the best way forward. Every case is unique. Your bishop will be inspired by God to help know how you can best apply Christ's atonement in your life.

I hope this answer helps.
