Yes, but Gods grace and forgiveness is something else.
And the journey is well worth it, but let God do the work, He is the potter, we are the clay.
Ephesians 1:18 KJV
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Don’t waste another day outside of His will..

But I (Jesus) tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away.
Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send
Him to you. And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin
and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;

Just as underwhosewings said, it is walk not a sprint. Once you have surrendered to Christ and believe in Him as your Lord and Savior, He sends the Holy Spirit to indwell within you. He will be your helper, the one that guides you, and makes known the ways of God. He will convict sin and you will begin to feel disgusted by sinful actions or sinful thoughts. This is the process of sanctification.
Once saved, your sin has been atoned for by the blood of Christ. God seeing you through the lens of Christ calls you holy, redeemed, righteous, Saint, child, and prince. That is what Jesus did for us.
We still deal with the flesh but we are no longer bound to sin. We now can work in step with the Spirit to live out our holy righteous calling. It will be lifelong as we will not achieve perfection until we are glorified on the day we enter Heaven.

Hi Seeker,
Two main themes of salvation in Christianity that distinguishes it from every world religion is:
A. Jesus, God in the flesh
B. Salvation by grace with no addition of your works.
Here's what you are looking for.
The Bible way to Heaven

The Bible way to Heaven
The day I realised that I didn’t actually know where I was going when I died, I did as occasion served me.
I survived the drive home from the Christian church meeting without any car accident or dropping into hell.
I put my little children to bed.
I purposed in my heart to then remain on my knees in prayer to God, for as long as it took, to get an answer from God, where was I going when I died.
God spoke one word to me, “repent, repent,” and opened my eyes to the fact that my repentance had only been an outward thing. I had not given to God my will. God granted me full repentance.
It has been a journey of all sorts, but we triumph in Christ.
Colossians 3:15 KJV
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Matthew 22:37 KJV
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 11:12 KJV
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Luke 11:13 KJV
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Hebrews 12:3-6 KJV
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
[4] Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
[5] And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
[6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

When I pray I know my mind I get extremely resistant. It is NOT spiritual warfare at all. My conscience doesn’t bite me at all. I will die any day and it is giving me anxiety. GOD has given me over to a reprobate mind and hardened my heart. I WILL curse the day I was born. Trust me. I will. Seeking Him is wasting my time. It hasn’t done me any good. I wish He NEVER created me.
