For a person to be able to solve a problem they must first recognize that they have the problem, if they don't they will live with it all their lives. Maybe a person will see a doctor because he or she recognizes that you must take care of your health. Everything has a logic and a reason for being. In the spiritual there is no difference, if we do not recognize that we are sinners and need God's mercy and forgiveness we will never approach Him, even if we approach without recognizing this we will not find Him because not to recognize our failures is haughty and God looks at the haughty from afar. It is necessary to recognize that we are evil, sinners who did not deserve Jesus Christ to give his life for us, it must hurt in our hearts to have been evil and then come to God through Jesus Christ, He as the good Father who is will receive us with love, forgive us and give us all kinds of blessings and eternal life if we stand firm in Him.
