Since I have accepted Jesus, will heaven accept me, even tho I have many sinns?

Question

Im Christian born, and I have been down a VERY dirty road, I now try to be as good as I can, internally and externally, Tho my bad run is not quite over, Im yet to sinn again, I have no choice! Will God accept me? Is it possible Jesus really did pay for my sinns?

Answer 1

Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered Him stricken by God, smitten by Him and afflicted.
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way, and the Lord has laid upon Him the iniquity *of us all*. (Isaiah 53:4-6)

Thus the prophet Isaiah wrote by faith hundreds of years before Jesus' birth, looking forward to the coming of the Messiah - who turned out to be Jesus.

Paul writes, 'Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.' (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)

Which sounds pretty drastic. But then he adds:

'And that is what some of you *were*. But you were *washed*, you were *sanctified*, you were *justified* in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.' (1 Corinthians 6:11)

Or how about this?

God so loved *the world* that He gave His only-begotten Son that whoever believes in HIm would not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Or this?

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Or:

If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation - the old things passed away, behold, new things have come! (2 Corinthians 5:17)

What I want you to do with these verses is stick your name, your person in the appropriate places, and keep doing that until you find yourself able to thank God that it is so. Then do that. (1 Thessalonians 5:18)

And when you doubt in the future, think not of your own sinfulness, except to take any corrective action the Lord may show you - think rather of Him and his goodness.

O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him! (Psalm 34:8)

May He bless and keep you

Answer 2

Jesus died for ALL sin - past, present and future. If something is paid for, it cannot be repaid for and who would be able to do better than Jesus did anyway? It is not sin that will send you to Hell, it is the rejection of the Lord's payment for your sins that will send you to Hell. Yes, God will accept you into Heaven once you accept Jesus' payment for your sins by repenting. All of us will continually sin because we were born in sin from Adam and Eve and that is exactly why God had to come in the form of man to pay for sin. Accept Jesus and live because God does not acknowledge your sins once you accept Jesus' payment. That does not mean that you have a license to sin though. You should try your best to follow the Lord's example for the rest of your life but good deeds or good works are not what will get you into Heaven. Thank you for your question.

Answer 3

yes, but tht doesn't mean you have a license to sin. You have to have sincere repentance and turn away from your sin. Some sin is addicting like drugs and pornography. I have heard of people being freed by these things in an instance, but if you are continuously tempted, I would seek the counsel of a Pastor.
Read the Bible, start with the Book of John and pray A LOT. Keep asking God to help you. Keep putting in Godly thoughts into your mind. I enjoy Christian radio & or T.V.

Answer 4

To say that you "don't have a choice" is not correct. You do have a choice. You choose to sin...even though you seem to be born again. Every sin is a sin against God.

Yes. If you are really a Christian, Jesus did pay the total price of your sin.

But, are you really a Christian?

2 Cor. 13:5 (NKJV)
Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you are disqualified.

Jeremiah 17:9 (NKJV)
"The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?

Answer 5

YES!!!!!!!! Jesus will ALWAYS accept you!!! EVERYBODY sins. Just do your best to live like Jesus would... Remember W.W.J.D? Oh, and repent for what you did, and don't go back to your own ways. It wont be easy, trust me. I've been a Christian for a almost 10 years, but i didn't really understand it until 4 years ago, and it is still hard, but I promise you its worth it!!!!!!! Remember John 3:16, Jesus took the punishment for what you did wrong, so you don't have to. Isn't that so awesome? have a great day!

Answer 6

God loves you, no matter what. If you know Jesus, the Bible says that you can KNOW you will have eternal life. Who else would jesus die for except sinners? He's the only one that never sinned....Check out:


Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

romans 14:8
For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.

Galatians 2:21
I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!

1 peter 3:18
For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.

1 Timothy 1:15-16
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.

Answer 7

If you truly, sincerely gave your heart to Jesus Christ and accepted Him as the only way to have all your sins forgiven, removed and cleansed, you are saved and are struggling with your new found faith. The Holy Bible says in I Peter 2:2 "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby." You are a newborn babe and need to grow up into Jesus Christ. You do this by hearing, reading studying, memorizing and meditating on God's word, The Holy Bible. It is also good to hang around Christians, your new family of God. It is my prayer that God will bless you in your efforts in all of this..

Answer 8

Well....I read all these answers provided so far...and sure they will give you right direction......I am a Hindu guy, but I respect Christianity too.....however, it is still confusing to me that how come God shall accept you since you are saying that you are yet to sin again. I can understand those sins you committed without your knowledge and before submitting yourself to Jesus....but are these nice people meant to say even after your committing sin with your open eyes, HE shall forgive you? Amazing really!

Answer 9

There is always a choice to sin or not to sin. Sin by definition is willful disobedience to God.

If you say that you believe in God then every effort possible has to be made to fall in line with His will.

Belief must be supported by action, meaning knowers & hearers of His Word must also be doers of His word.

If you are sincere in your request for forgiveness, then Jesus will wash you clean in the sight of God.

Answer 10

You've got a clean slate. God bless you.

Do your best to keep that newly-cleaned slate as clean as possible from here on out. Because salvation cannot be attained by a one-time declaration of Jesus as Savior -- though obviously that is a necessary start.

St. Paul tells us in Romans that we must continue in His grace, or else "we too shall be pruned away" (Rom 11:22).

You've been saved. Congratulations. Now it's up to you to keep yourself from becoming "unsaved."
