Jesus may forgive your sins but that doesn't absolve you from your responsibility for them. It is you who must make amends for them.
Christianity is well known for people on their death beds seeking cleric absolution for their sins, yet having done little or nothing to correct those sins during their lives.
It is so easy to seek forgiveness from an abstract Jesus but far harder to seek forgiveness from those who have been wronged.
However, if you are forgiven by those you have wronged, your spiritual being will be uplifted in growth as will the spiritual beings of those whose hearts are big enough to forgive you.

Dear reader, I am of Jewish heritage and respectful of all religions, and the wisdom of seeking forgiveness from those we have wronged applies to each of us in any faith.
