You have to truly be sorry for your transgressions and make a real attempt not to sin again

Yes you can and it is easier than you would think. As a Christian I am constantly in prayer, it is a meditation that I put my mind in, so that I am in constant communication with God. Not to say I do not sin, I do, but my mind is generally on God, it helps so much. There is no gray area, when you read the scriptures and meditate on the meaning each day. I understand you have sinned and that you regret it, confess to Christ and all will be forgiven, try not to repeat the mistakes and do not dwell on the past; learn from the past, forgive others as you do yourself and you we be in Gods arms soon and finally in peace...

your heart is in the right place, your direction is your path. as you pray for these things one thing also must be remembered. if any sins you have done , you must never do again. that helps make the path 100%. you seem like a strong young man, lord be with you, bless you as you walk your path daily.
christian music is a wonderful way to help stay positive and helps you fell strong as you go about in your life. i love KLOVE
a christian radio station that plays all over the USA and if your town doesn't get it check out www.klove.com they have it on the Internet as well. lord bless you

The Bible tells us that Christ Died for the sins of the whole world. that it is Gods wish that all be saved from damnation. God knew that NO human could ever bee good enough to pay for their sins. We are told that our works are as filthy rags, so trying to do good enough to get to heaven is just a major effort in failure. The bible tells us that all we have to do is confess our sins and ask for forgiveness. that god is faithfull and just to forgive us. All our sins are covered by the blood that was shed as the sacrifice for our sins. When we accept Jesus Christ as our savior our sins are washed away by the blood that was shed. The Check for our salvation was written at Calvary God makes sure that everyone has the chance to cash that check but if we choose not to accept Jesus payment for us then we cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven . the choise is ours.

dude u can ask for forgiveness from God and follow him from now on. When i say this believe it, some might give u hope while others give u sadness. Either way it depends on how u see it. Only u and God can talk about your life. I warn you tho, sometimes the EVIL one not dark ( i hate when ppl say dark cuz dark is a completly differ thing) can be tricky, hes best known for a lot of trickery. God bless

there is a saying in the Bible that says that we all have fallen short to the glory of God.. What that means is that we are all within sin and we are not purrifect but with God help we can have a good life and a good relationship with him. so if you look at it you can be with God 100% but you have to have a relationship with him like talking to him everyday, reading his word , and going to church every Sunday to be with other and to learn more about Jesus too....

Probably, at least theoretically. But I think there is value in shareing your spirituality with others. (not talking about witnessing or preaching, but about being a part of a community of like minded individuals)
Humans are social animals, we like to share our ideas, thoughts, and feelings. It's FUN to get validation from people who agree with you. And it's fun to be challenged with new ideas.
Then too, too much inward focus can be bad for the spirit in that with no 'out there'... er... out there we run the risk of losing our touch points with reality.

Only if you endure to the end (Matthew 24:13), carry your cross (Luke 14:27), and eat his flesh and blood (John 6:52-58).
