God is Not Mad at You
How simple it is to just ask God to forgive you for your sins.
You can't make your way to heaven by doing good works.
Good works should be a result of giving your heart to Jesus, not an effort just to be good enough to go to heaven.
When we do go to the Father for forgiveness, we're covered by Jesus' crucifixion.
Jesus took sin, sickness, disease, hell, fear, poverty, death, punishment and the grave all to the cross.
When God forgives you, He takes your sins and tosses them into the deepest part of the sea, never to be remembered again.
It's interesting to note the little demon trying to tell the man that his sins are so bad that God would never forgive him. This is totally the wrong attitude. You're not going to surprise God with all your hidden sins, He already knows about them. So why not clean the slate and ask Him to forgive you?
