The stain and stench of sin can only be washed away by the blood of Jesus.
Hebrews 9:22 NLT
[22] In fact, according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified with blood. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.

1 John 1:8-10 NLT
[8] If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. [9] But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. [10] If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.

Our righteousness is like filthy rags before God!
Isaiah 64:6 NKJV
[6] But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.
https://bible.com/bible/114/isa.64.6.NKJV
Jesus Christ is our High Priest. The one and only sacrifice for the sins of mankind. There is no other way, no amount of works or sacrifices, no good deeds, no religion or anything else that we can do to atone for our sins..all we can do is fall on our knees, lift up out heart and soul before Him, repent, which is to turn away from our sin and turn towards God, confess our sin, receive His grace and mercy, along with His forgiveness. Allow Him to cleanse us of all sin and unrighteousness.
Do this often, every day!
Hebrews 9:23-28 NKJV
[23] Therefore it was necessary that the copies of the things in the heavens should be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. [24] For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; [25] not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another— [26] He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. [27] And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, [28] so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
