Here's the problem with sin
Sin drags us down and lowers our standard and quality of life. This is Satan's intention (John 10:10). He wants to make us depraved, immoral, corrupted, and completely stripped of virtue and excellence.
If we take a step back and examine sin, we will see its worthlessness.

Sin causes us to do things that are unnatural, degrading, harmful, embarrassing, pointless, and can put our life at risk, often without realizing it.
It's deception at its highest form and blinds us from the truth (John 8:32). Sin offers absolutely no value (Romans 3:23; 6:23; James 1:15).
The hold or strong influence that sin carries, is it truly worth the consequence? Is sins pleasure worth it?
Galatians 5:19-21 answers the question. it says, "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
Sinning prevents us from inheriting the kingdom of God, making it not worthwhile (1 Timothy 5:6; Ezekiel 18:23; Ezekiel 33:11; Romans 13:12-14; 1 Thessalonians 4:4; Colossians 3:5; 1 Corinthians 6:18).
You must choose one: either you love God or you love pleasure (Matthew 6:24; 2 Timothy 3:4; 1 John 1:9; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 5:3; 1 Peter 4:3-5; Psalm 5:4).
Enjoyment doesn't have to involve sinning
We can experience pleasure without sinning. Genuine happiness, joy, gladness, enjoyment, and fulfillment arise when you take delight in the Lord, as He will satisfy the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4). For the Lord delights in those who revere Him, in those who hope in His unwavering love (Psalm 147:11).
Sin is a deception from the enemy, who is good at "hyping it up" and excels at promoting it.

A call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will become one with yours. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, as you and Him are now one.
All you must do is receive salvation, simply choosing to repent of your sins and welcome Jesus into your life by confessing Him as Lord. In Romans 10:9 Paul said, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Here's a Prayer that you can pray to get saved:
Jesus, I confess that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that you died and were risen for my sins. I ask for forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior—in Jesus' name, Amen.
After this step, pray for guidance to find a ministry where you can grow spiritually, gain knowledge about the kingdom, and begin living the abundant life promised by Jesus.
