Chris,

As John, Lelia, Kathy and others pointed out, God loves you and all the rest
of us
regardless.  It's not conditional on what we do or don't do.  Jesus died on
the cross and rose from the dead to save us sinners.  If we could control
the fact that we are sinners, Jesus would not have had to die in our place.
If we have accepted him as Savior, then we have his resources to help us
with sins.  The Bible calls them, sins that so easily beset us.
Hebrews 12 Verses 1 and 2.  From the New Living Translation, reads like
this.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the
life
of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the
sin that
so easily hinders our progress. And let us run with endurance the race that
God has
set before us.

We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from
start to
Finish.
