WITHOUT Christ as the Savior, the Redeemer, the Lamb, and the High Priest who did all to complete what's required from the Father to save us, God CANNOT and will NOT ever clear the guilty like us even if we beg Him to forgive us. Why? Because He is JUST. For God to forgive, ALL of our sins (past, present, and future) had to be punished. That's why Jesus had to become sin, in order for us to be forgiven, once, for all. Salvation does NOT depend on our obedience to the Law at any time, but instead on Jesus' perfect obedience that went all the way to His death. "And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:8)" Thank Jesus for saving you!
