Just for a minute, forget about what you were taught at your church. Don't think about your life or achievements or your failures.
Salvation comes by grace.
For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. He loves you. But I believe that you died upon the cross for me. That you shed your precious blood, for the forgiveness of my sin.
