GOD detests the way of the wicked, but loves those who pursue righteousness. ~ (Proverbs 15:9)

It is impossible to encounter GOD without righteousness.  A wicked person can never find favor with Him, unless he turns away from his sins.

However, GOD has no pleasure in the death of a sinner or a wicked fellow.  He does not wish to see anyone perish in hell.  All He requires of us is to turn away from our wicked or sinful nature and pursue righteousness, so we may have eternal life (Ezekiel 33:11).  

NOTE:

How can we pursue righteousness?

IF THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED A WICKED/SINFUL LIFESTYLE SURRENDER TO JESUS CHRIST AND FORSAKE THEIR WAYS, THEY SHALL BE SAVED, REGARDLESS OF THE NATURE, SIZE, OR EXTENT OF THEIR SINS.

The first step to pursuing righteousness is to accept JESUS CHRIST as our LORD and SAVIOR.  His Blood, which was shed on the Cross of Calvary as payment for our sins, cleanses us of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:7)

No one can have access to the Only True GOD and make it to Heaven without surrendering to JESUS CHRIST (John 14:6). Likewise, no one can please a perfect GOD by his own strength and morality - JESUS CHRIST is our Righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30).  We are made righteous, only when we surrender our lives to Him completely. He then empowers us to live a lifestyle of holiness, through the Holy Spirit.

Surrendering your life to JESUS is not as complicated as you thought.
