You are right- nothing you can do is enough to earn forgiveness! Because- Salvation is by grace- meaning it is fully undeserved. Stop trying to earn. You cannot.
BUT GOD says that what Jesus did for you is already enough if you would just repent of your sins and turn to Him and believe that He did that for you. A child can do it.
Thank you... I am still working on it. I guess its hard to believe sometimes that it is just as easy, as asking and truly repenting.. it seems like it shouldnt be that easy :/ If it is for me, should it be the same for those who have committed horrendous acts against children, sexual crimes? I dont know.. I feel like maybe there is some kind of hierarchy chart we were never told about.

The stark difference between you and them is youβre repentant, they most likely are not.
