Romans 10: 5-13

5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.” 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the deep?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim: 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame.” 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

When you receive forgiveness from someone and then do the exact same thing to them, it's difficult to ask forgiveness again.

How are we supposed to approach God when we repeatedly sin against him.

We should approach God an unfaithful spouse would. but God's forgiveness is unending.

He allows us to continue feeling accepted and that's what matters.

Moving forward we need to deny the flesh and walk with God.

No-one can judge me better than myself. It's worse than anyone would ever guess.

You think better of me than I would ever deserve.

Paul say's that he was chief among sinners, he realized how bad he was and how much he needs to be saved.

"If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

God has taken care of the "How" 

it's easy to believe 2+2=4; It's harder to believe E=MC^2.

At one point Dave's Believing in your heart, went from a E=MC^2 to a 2+2=4 and he understood. 

At the time, the verse, "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." would have been an extreme commitment. Saying, "Jesus is Lord" would have equated Jesus as God and "believing that Jesus resurrected from the dead" would have been controversial. It may seem simple to do in our culture, but it would have been like taking up your cross at the time.
