Inordinate, excessive, conformation to the things of this world, things that cause us to forget God and put him in second place will eventually separate us from the love of God.

God told Peter that he forgives seventy times seven times, or four hundred and ninety times. Just as he forgave Judah four hundred and ninety years in the Seventy Week prophecy which he gave to Daniel for his people.

Matthew 18:21-22 KJV
[21] Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? [22] Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

The people of Judah did not fulfill the contingencies of that prophecy, and God took away their city and their temple by the Romans in 70 AD. The Jews had been given the gospel message to be a light to the world, but when they failed, God had his Apostles take the gospel message to the Gentiles and to all the world.

Daniel 9:24-27 KJV
[24] Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. [25] Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. [26] And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. [27] And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

God will forgive many times, but he does have a limit. For those who cross his limit they will encounter the wrath of God which is now coming on the whole world.
