Do you know that Jesus already paid the price for the sins of every person under heaven? Yes, He has!
He die for the entire world, not just for some selected few, but the whole world, John 3:16. You might say, you mean to tell me He died for the worst gangster, murderer, prostitute as well, yes he did! He paid for their sins as well. Although it is free gift to all, but only those that accept this gift, gets to enjoy its benefits.
You may ask again, how can one be close to God, when the urge to commit crime is always active in you?
Jesus did not come to save the righteous, but sinners unto repentance. It's only when you're in Christ Jesus, listening, studying the Word of God, and in constant fellowship with Him, that the taste for sin will cool-off, you simply lost the desire to continue.
Many think, you have to stop sinning first before you can come to Jesus; that may never happen.
It's by coming to Jesus, that you receive the grace that empower you to live above sin, the nature of God begin to manifest in the life of the individual.
The desire to go back to the old ways will always present itself, but if one gives more attention to the Word of God, by constant fellowship and meditation by the word, in your private time and service days, you will be alright.
Man is made righteous, cleansed and holy, by the blood of Jesus. Our righteousness is of God through Christ Jesus. There's nothing anyone can do to attain righteousness, holiness or to be cleansed. Just let the word of God dwell richly in your heart, walk in love and you're good.
Jesus is Lord!
