I hear the voice of my Father, "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." Now recognize that you have the freedom to choose Yes or No, however with all decisions, there are repercussions or an opposing impact. There is Good or Evil, Left or Right, Up or Down, Life or Death, just as there is Heaven or Hell.

1 Timothy 1:16                                                          
16  But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.        

The world today has made the RELATIONSHIP with JESUS CHRIST appear difficult when it is actually quite SIMPLE. If you ask him to enter your heart and forgive you for your sins, you are declaring that while you are not perfect, you will make an attempt to move away from who you were and toward who you want to be through Christ.  
Jesus remarked in  Luke 5:32  which states,  "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”      

God claims to love us before we were ever born, so there is no condemnation, no saying I'm not good enough, and no saying but I've done this or that he won't accept me for me!
