You trust your works, if that works for you. I’ll trust Jesus, because I know my works are just dirty rags.
Are you committing homosexuality to try and earn your way to heaven?! You are conflating works based religion with transgression. Trust in Jesus means you are no longer practicing sin (transgressions), something works based religion has no power over.
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

No, I’m not. I’m happily married and have 4 kids.
Again, you trust in your good works to gain admission into heaven and rightstanding with God.
I’ll trust in Jesus, my Savior and Lord, and express my love for him by striving to obey him.
Hm. You write, “Trust in Jesus means you are no longer practicing sin.” So, you no longer sin? Hm. Impressive. Good job. As for me, I am in daily need of a Savior.
