1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Christ’s forgiveness is of no use to you if you refuse it. The gift of salvation really is free, but in order to have your sins forgiven, you have to recognize that you have sins in the first place. The lesson behind many of Jesus’ teachings was that nobody is good enough to get into Heaven on their own. Good deeds don’t outweigh bad deeds or erase sin; it was Christ’s death on the cross that wiped away your mistakes. The Heavenly kingdom can’t be earned, but if you confess your sins, the Lord is faithful and just to forgive you.
