John 8:24 ASV
(24) I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that 'I AM' [he], ye shall die in your sins.
1 Peter 1:15-16 ASV
(15) but like as he who called you is holy, be ye yourselves also holy in all manner of living;
(16) because it is written, Ye shall be holy; for I am holy.
Many dispute the doctrine that God does not listen to sinners, instead of waking up from their spiritual lethargy to seek to know everything that we have never been taught about the salvation of Jesus.
If we read that God does not listen to sinners, we should ask ourselves, 'who does God listen to, believing all this time that we are all sinners and that only God is without sin and that no man can be without sin?'.
Well, if God does not listen to sinners, He must listen to the opposite of a sinner, which is a holy person or a 'holier', if I may say so.
A sinner does sin. A 'holier' does the holy, always.
So, for God to hear us, to listen to us in His Kingdom, we cannot be sinners but holy people (saints)who repented of our evil ways to become a Christacolyte.
True, Jesus died for the sinners but He did because he calls the sinners to repentance )Luke 5:32) so that they have a way out of the irrevocable price for sin, which is death.
Jesus promises life for those of us who repented to become holy upon the remission and forgiveness of our sins and who will keep living holy without going back to the forgiven sins or to any other sin.

John 14:21-24 ASV
(21) He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him. (22) Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? (23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (24) He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me.

Mark 12:28-31 ASV
(28) And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all?
(29) Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord is one:
(30) and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.
(31) The second is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord [YAHWEH], and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: Romans 10:9 ASV

which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
Hebrews 12:3-8 ASV
(3) For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls. (4) Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin: (5) and ye have forgotten the exhortation which reasoneth with you as with sons, My son, regard not lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art reproved of him; (6) For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. (7) It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not? (8) But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
