VVhat does this have to do with the topic of this thread? Do you mind not derailing this thread, so people can discuss overcoming past sin and moving forward in life? I would appreciate it, as it is you're bringing some negativity to this thread by presenting a relationship with God as legalistic and burdensome.
VVe are His children, we are family. Not just friends, but blood bought children. Adopted by the Spirit of Adoption. Can't be any closer, He resides inside of you as you are His temple. God is your Father, why are you trying to distance God through self-works when Jesus has brought us reconciliation? No need to answer, just get back on topic please.

Or do you just want to overcome your sins and continue to live the way you want to live. That is not going to happen.
(Romans 8:1-4) “The reason, therefore, why those who are in Christ Jesus are not condemned, is that the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. God has done what the Law, because of our unspiritual nature, was unable to do. God dealt with sin by sending his own Son in a body as physical as any sinful body, and in that body God condemned sin he did this in order the Law’s just demands might be satisfied in us, who behave not as our unspiritual nature but as the spirit dictates.”
