Hello Marco70,
How can you trust your own heart when God says it is desparately wicked?
JEREMIAH 17:9-10 [9], The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? [10], I the LORD search the heart, I test the mind, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
MATTHEW 15:19 [19], For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, all sexual immorality, theft, lying, and slander.
PROVERBS 28:26 [26], He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whosoever walks wisely, he shall be delivered.
ECCLESIASTES 3:9 [9], This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the
hearts of the children of man are
full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
This is why we need a new heart to be Born again..
Ezekiel 36:26-27 [26], A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
[27], And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them.
JOHN 3:3-7 [3], Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.[4], Nicodemus said unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? [5], Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. [6], That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7], Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.

1 JOHN 3:9 [9], WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOES NOT COMMIT SIN; for his nature remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Seems God's WORD disagrees with you
.....................
How can you have faith if you have no WORD?
ROMANS 10:17 [17], So then FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
If you do NOT have God's WORD you cannot have FAITH if you have NO FAITH you are lost. It is God's WORD written on the heart not your own.
................
SIN is still the same as it has always been which is the breaking of God's Commandments (
James 2:9-11;
Romans 7:7;
1 John 3:4)
Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.
................
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (
Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (
James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (
Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (
Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
