Do we constantly need to ask for forgiveness to stay forgiven?

What about the first letter of John saying that God does not forgive us before we have confessed our sins? If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, so he forgives us from sin and purifies us from all unrighteousness.

This is a scripture many use to explain that God has not forgiven us until we have made up for our sin and asked for forgiveness.
It may seems, when we read this, that God has not forgiven us until we do the next sin and that we constantly must remember to ask forgiveness to remain forgiven, but is this so?
