If I want to live forever and be close to God, what do I need to do?

Answer 1

Whatever God wants. I mean, if he is God that kind of trumps whatever you might think, right?

Answer 2

You don't have to do anything at all.

The spiritual part of you, Your soul is a part of God. As a part of God it is eternal.

Jesus told us the kingdom of God is within you.

You can't get much closer than that.

All you really need to do now is recognize this truth about your self.

Notice all of the other answers will tell you that you are not ok just the way you are. They all think that there is something you need to do to be ok.

Silly idea they have that God was not smart enough to make you just the way he wanted you isn’t it.

Love and blessings

Answer 3

I'm not sure if you're sincere or not, but I will give you the short answer: There's nothing YOU can DO. First of all, you have to realize that you have a terminal disease called sin. The Bible says that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," and "there is none good but God." "The wages of sin is death," and it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment."

Do you agree with that? Do you understand that you've done wrong (sins), like lying, taking God's name in vain (Exodus 20 says, "The Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain"), not always honoring your parents, not loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength?

If you do, then here's the good news: 2,000 years ago Christ died a horrible death, not just physically, but spiritually taking on every sin you and I have done - past, present and future. He's the only One who can pay the fine you've brought upon yourself by breaking God's holy laws.

So, here comes your part: If you believe this, then what you have to do is approach God with a humble heart, and simply cry out to Him and ask Him to give you the gift He's offering. Ask Him to cleanse you of your sin, and save you. This is part of "repentance." It's a change of mind towards God and the dying state of your soul.

Read the Gospel of John... please. It will give you a whole new perspective on Jesus Christ and the wonderful thing He did for you 2,000 years ago on the hill of Calvary.

I hope you are really searching. You can find some more information at www.LivingWaters.com. Find "Are You a Good Person," "Save Yourself Some Pain," and then listen to "Hell's Best Kept Secret."

I'll pray for you.

Answer 4

Christianity is not about religion it's about having a personal relationship with God. You need to confess with your mouth that you are a sinner and believe in your whole heart that only Jesus Christ, the only Son of God died for your sins. Jesus loves us all and seen us at our worst point in life. He even died for those sins.
But you have to truly believe this. This is being saved you from eternal damnation in hell. You can either accept this or reject it.
If you accept it you will dwell in God's Kingdom for all eternity,which is Heaven. If you don't then, when you die, the angels Will carry you to hell which is of fire and brimstone, for all eternity.
That is what you must do to be close to God and live forever in Heaven with Him.

Answer 5

Receive Christ as your savior, trust in Him for salvation. Read and study His word, the Scriptures. Pray, keep in communication with the Father. Serve Him by serving others. Allow the Holy Spirit to take control of your heart and mind, then you will mature into in holiness and righteousness. Above all, love. Love the brethren, love those who persecute and hate you. Allow Christ to live through you. Avoid sin, but if you do sin, seek forgiveness and restoration quickly. Be a man after God's own heart.

Simply invite and accept Jesus and God into your heart.
