I have not done anything that bad. However I feel so horrific. Like this lost sole that should be dead. So I really hope God will see the love and kindness I have in me. I hope Jesus can see it as well. But I may go to hell. Because I think I am a pretty horrific person. I help this old lady I know a lot. I volunteer and help in my local community. But I steel feel so horrific. Maybe Jesus will send me to hell. Jesus take the wheel

When we compare ourselves to other men..we may not look all that bad.. but other men are not Gods standard.. HE is..

Gods word says that all are good works are like menstrual rags before a holy God.. we can do NOTHING pleasing to God in ourselves.. God is only pleases with his work IN us, and he is not in us until we realize that we have broken His laws and he demands payment , as the just judge He is for those offenses, and that penalty is death. The only one that could pay those penalty and release us from the wrath of God is Jesus. The just dying for the unjust ...

God will not be impressed with your works.. you can not bribe God

If men have never seen themselves as God sees them.. filthy ... and begged for His forgiveness ...and trusted that Christ's sacrifice was sufficient before God as their penalty ... there is no hope of salvation

"Acts 26:15“Then I asked, ‘Who are you, Lord?’
“‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16‘Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen of me and what I will show you. 17I will rescue you from your own people and from the Gentiles. I am sending you to them 18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

The Gospel message.. Repent and believe ... and be saved

So what can I do ?

I really try to make myself a better person etc. But I guess God can see my rotten soul.
