First you need to realize that you have sinned against God.
You need to believe and trust that Jesus already paid for your sin at the cross; and there is nothing you can do to earn your way into a right relationship with God and Heaven.
The Bible says that everyone is a sinner Rom. 3:23. SO WHAT IS SIN
Have you ever said a lie, even a little white lie, stolen, angry, words, not obeyed, etc.
Honestly, could you count all the times you have done something that God labels as sin? Even if it was possible that you only ever sinned once in God's eyes or standards you are still a sinner.
James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. eg: LINKS OF A CHAIN, MUSICAL HARMONY

All of us are sinners deserving of death Rom. 6:23. But no person has sinned too much to be forgiven. “God’s law was given so you could see how sinful you are. Grace comes to us in our poor sinful condition and offers us the mercy of God when we deserve His wrath.
