How can I be forgiven?
Short answer
Forgiveness comes through trusting Jesus — admitting your need, believing his death and resurrection are for you, and turning to follow him.
Deeper answer
You don't have to clean yourself up first. The gospel is that Jesus meets you where you are. Coming to him is the only prerequisite.
