Yes it is! You must be sincere and honest how ever! You can not con God! It don't cost you a thing! You can do it anywhere! John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only! For so ever believes in him will not parish but have everlasting life!
Repent your sins and strive never to do them again, of course you will from time to time as we all do, just about every day> You are suppose to try not to sin>
One of the Major problems today is many folks, judge God based on the church's when in fact they should judge the church's based on God! If you study and read you will find many church's fail that test! With the way the world is today, it is by no means easy, we are under attack! But we will of course win according too the scriptures.

Oh man I'm overjoyed by this question. This answer is a screaming YES! All you have to do is recognize that you have fallen short of God's will for you. That you are a sinner. Then with your heart humbled ask Him for forgiveness. Christ has died so that all your sins (past, present, and future) could be forgiven. All you have to do is ask for it. It's a free gift!
Not to say being saved is an easy life in general. Persecution surrounds the life of a Christian. But with Christ all things are possible.
It's kind of exciting when you think about it.. not going to lie.

Yes but think about it if you do get saved then when you die you will be able to spend forever in heaven, and you'll never have to suffer again, all sickness, and any other problems this world faces will disapear. But the harder part is keeping your faith all the time, no matter what. Sometimes you will doubt yourself and your faith. But you have to stay strong and keep beliving with your whole heart no matter what life throws at you. And you need to know that no matter what God is always with you. He never left. But you need to accept Jesus Christ into your heart to live inside of you and you'll never have to worry again. Keep strong and God Bless You. May you get saved sooner rather than later. Every Second that you live for the Lord counts. HE is the one that she his blood for YOU. If you were the only person on earth he would have died all over again just for YOU. He Died for all of us, Never doubt that for one second. In sickness and in health, just like marriage vows, He'll always love you. No matter if you commit murder (not that I am telling you to) or you tell a lie he loves you. Just as he loves us all.

What is easy? In fact there are those that will never know salvation. First one must recognize that salvation exist and is real and a gift. You must receive the gift of forgiveness by knowing what sin is knowing that you are a sinner and do not deserve everlasting life, with the Father. Knowing in your soul that you are forgiven and speaking with your mouth. Surrendering your will to his.
Yes it is easy if you have spoke it with your mouth and experienced the change Joining a church or saying you are a christian, doesn't do it. as the people in here who say they used to be a Christian, they never were.Jesus has said "those that thou hath given me, I shall not lose one" Faith cometh by hearing , hearing the word of God

That's the best ? I've ever heard. That's why God says many will come to him and He'll say I never knew. The kingdom of God is not easy, it's actually hard, very hard. Many americans seem to think that heaven is easy, but it's not. I believe that God will ask many preachers lots of ? when they get to heaven, because many of them don't preach the Gospel the way they should preach it.
Nowdays, God is not satisfied with many pastors, and preachers.

You can say the words easy enough, but you have to truly believe in the Lord and want to change your life to be saved. I said, "the sinners prayer" many times, but didn't really change my life to reflect my beliefs until I felt the presence of the Lord.

No it is not easy. My personal experience was to wrestle with the idea of God most of the night till I finally gave up and realized that I would have to except it on faith. That's when I truly understood what it means to believe in faith. He (God) will come to you when you finally give up and say " God , I don't understand all this stuff about You but I will trust You with my life and see where You lead me." Then you will know that you know.

No...
All that is required is: "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." - Romans 10:9
"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12, 13
Jesus Himself explains being saved in the parable of the soils, found in Mark 4:3 - 20. He also explains why He speaks in parables and the meaning of this particular parable. Read it as He answers your question 2,000 years ago...!

well the act is easy, living up to it afterwards is hard. B/c it doesnt mean that if you confess you truly repent. It must truly come from within, so if it really happens, there's a definitely a huge change in character.

receiving JESUS as your savior is easy is the living the christian life that can be hard at times that is why so many people give up they say i tried that religion once but now im into something else , christianity is not a religion but a choice of having arelationship with JESUS accepting that HE shed his blood on the cross to take away my sin and yours and when you accept HIM you are filled with the holy spirit who gives you strength and understanding and your name written in the boolk of eternal life and when JESUS returns again we who believe and accepted jesus will go to heaven
