Everyone has failed to live up to what God expects of us. No one is able to able to perfectly keep God’s commandment.
We are all sinners in need of a saviour

Matthew 5:27-28 ESV
You have heard that it was said "You shall not commit adultery" But I say to you that everyone who looks at a women with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Our disobedience separates us from our Creator. We need His divine forgiveness.
God is absolute holiness, and to preserve His own character He must remain absolutely holy in all his dealings with man.
All men are sinners and unable to meet Gods standards. Gods standard is unattainable.
Ignorance of The Law is where a lot pf people fall down! Thinking that you only have made minor transgressions only makes you ignorant of the truth. You have embraced the darkness much more then the light!
How many commandments have you transgressed?
Understand God's commandments and there can only be one answer Guilty sentence Hell

So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
God's Judgement and the Law
Romans 2:15-16 ESV
They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them, on that day when according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.
God wants you to come to Him though repentance, thankful that He sent Jesus Christ to save you!
People that do not understand God's Law accept they are guilty sinners who deserve Hell, turn to God out of fear not repentance. Failing to understand Why plants doubt in their minds "is God fair and just"?
The answer is YES He is, always!
How can we be reconciled with God?
How can man be reconciled with God, when he can not meet God's standards!
God settled the issue Himself. God's Salvation Plan ! Jesus Christ
He sent His Son to this earth to become a man and to ultimately give His life for you and me.
On the cross where Jesus died, He took the punishment for sin that we deserved.
Repentance of your sins
How are we saved?
Acts 4:12 ESV
2Corinthians 5:21 ESV
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God
Finding God starts by admitting failure and guilt. God disturbs our conscience, but a guilty conscience is not enough:
To be forgiven a person must turn to Jesus Christ, though personal repentance and trust.
John 14:6 ESV
Jesus said to him” I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except though me”
John 1:12 ESV
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God
Romans 10:9-10 ESV
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved
Thank God that Christ died on the cross to save you, a guilty sinner,
Ask God to forgive you, Turn away from your sins, accept that only Jesus can save you, remember .God looks at the heart, and sincerely pray a prayer that is real to you!
You can pray something like this:
Lord, I know that I have sinned and need your forgiveness. I believe that Jesus died on the cross in my place and took my punishment there. Thank you that he rose again and lives today. Help me to turn from sins, cleanse me from my sins. I invite Him into my life to be my Savior
God heard my prayer, he will also hear yours!
