As you consider your own messy little life, consider who you are. Consider whose you are. Consider that Christ's resurrection is the guarantee that you too will be raised one day physically. Consider that you have already been raised spiritually (Eph. 2:6; Col. 2:12; 3:1). When you sin, you behave out of accord with who you now are. You're acting like a former orphan who's been adopted yet keeps running out of his new house to the curb to beg for bread when the kitchen is fully stocked and freely his. You are destined for glory.
