"Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment."
-Joel 2:13
You can't buy forgiveness from God, no matter how much money you donate. Donations are good and necessary while we are down here, but God wants you to be sorry for your sins, not just make up for them. You can't earn your way into Heaven by never sinning because none of us have never sinned, regardless of original sin. Even though those sins were wrong, hopefully God brought some good from them by helping us realize how much we need to rely on him, which should make us feel sorry when we let him and ourselves down.
