True repentence for your sins and turning to follow God's Will.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just will for give us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1John 1:9.

The first step is to ask for forgivness. IMO a person must repent.. or endeavor to change your actions. A simple "I'm sorry" and then never try to change the behavior is not sincere.
Read Romans 10:9-11 and John 3:16.

Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

Recognize your sin, and feel sorry for your mistaken ways. And, really want to back to God's embrace. And, the last thing, try not to do it again in the future, whatever it takes. (BUT, seriously, not by your own strenght, but ask help from God to always remind you not to do the same mistakes).
may God Bless you.

True forgiveness by god comes from realizing that you are a sinner; that Jesus payed the price for your sins, and that by going to God in prayer, asking Him to forgive you because of what Jesus did--He is faithful to forgive. God Bless!

The scriptures are quite clear on this subject.
Believe that Christ Jesus was who He claimed to be.
Put your faith in Him and then follow His teachings.
