Are there any good Christians out there?

Question

Because I'm not. I wouldn't even classify myself as being a good person, i haven't lived a very good life. I've done a lot of drugs, stole, lied a lot, and i have been a hore. I'm 36 and i am trying to turn over a new leaf. But I have hurt a lot of people and hurt myself a lot too. I can honestly swear to God that I would take back all the evil **** i've done if i could and start over and do it right, earn what i get, wait for the right woman, you know. But right now i am earning what i get, but i can't make up for all the things i took that hurt people, and if the right woman did come along i couldn't even be with her because of all the baggage i have from all the wrong women i screwed up with and left me feeling stupid and dirty.I know i love jesus with all my heart, but i can't say i'm so sure he loves me yet. I wouldn't love me if i was him. How do i get past this?

Answer 1

My friend thank you for having enough courage to ask this question. There are answers. We have had many just like you in Shattered Men ask this and they have found healing.

You can start over again and become a new person. PLEASE contact me

Answer 2

That's the good thing about jesus even if you love to punch babies he still loves you.Just kiddin. but anyways keep up the good work I have lived a similar life to you and its pretty amazing how much better you will be if you just (stop punching babies, ) Stop doing bad things, help out as many people that you can and generally just be a good person. It takes allot of time and hard work to turn your life around, but people do change and you will be happy and feel proud again. most importantly and hardest thing you have to do let go of all this guilt yes it is hard but it will go away

Answer 3

You will do it. The most important thing is that God loves you, God know what is in your heart, God is always with you & God will help. As we are only humans we all make mistakes.
Project your clear intentions to the Universe & the Divene Spirit will provide for you. Once you set your goals clearly you'll achieve them. Think positive, be positive, avoid negative thoughts about your past & you'll turn your life around.

First you must forgive yourself, then learn to love & like yourself & you'll be fine!

Good luck. Expect success. May God Bless You!

Answer 4

Jesus accepts any who comes to him with a willing heart, remember he also died for those who killed him. go to him and ask for guidance to a church of his choosing, we can not do this alone, we can not even with the greatest relationship with Jesus find out all the answers on our own, we have limits that god respects, we are only human. seek him, read the bible and tell him about anything you do not understand, take to him as you would a friend or a brother, he will listen. just put away all the doubt and unbelief, know he exist and he will answer you and he will, ask for forgiveness in the name of his son and you will receive a peace beyond all understanding

Answer 5

I was Just about to go to bed. But I was sent a link to your question. and I would like to answer you I hope this makes sense iam half asleep so bear with me ok :)

I have done so many stupid things in my life my Parents abused me and they still are. I never knew Love growing up. I was never told I Love you NEVER. I needed Love needed Bad. so I looked for Love of course i Never found it the way i was going. I also did drugs but I have been drug free for 3 years now. I did things that I guess now looking back at the things i did i wanted to die. so I did everything i could think of that would somehow kill me.

I then met a guy who i thought was the greatest guy in the world. had a Baby with this guy. turns out this guy was NOT Mr. wonderful. I am so ashemed to be telling you this. but I Just want to tell you want turned my life around.

At the lowest point in my life where I was going downhill and fast. I called out to Jesus. I asked Him to forgive me. I asked Him to help me I was going to have a Baby. and I was alone and scared. I needed help and Jesus answered me. He Forgave me. In a moment i was given the best gift I have ever gotten. a New Life. a 2nd chance at life.I am now a single Mother of a Beatutifl Baby Daughter. who is 5 months old. she has given me the Love I had so much wanted when I was growing up. Jesus saved me. I'm NOT the best Christian BUT I am trying really hard. i fall a LOT. I have many questions I have only been a Christian for 6 months now. Bit I am learning.

There is someone who Loves YOU so much He will Forgive anything. all you have to do Is ask Him. His name Is Jesus and He Is my Best Friend. He has given me 2 wonderful new Freinds that saved my life again here on yahoo answers. they are Ken D & Linda. they both listen to me. they both are the Best.

I Hope and Pray that you forgive yourself ( not easy to do i know ) you have a lot of people here Praying for you. and you can add me to the list. If you ever want to talk Just email me and I will get back to you. Please don't be so hard on yourself. ok God Loves you. sorry this is so long Just wanted to let you know someone cares. God Bless you. Susan

P.S sorry for misspelled words spell check won't work :)

Answer 6

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
-- Isaiah 1:18

If you go to God and ask for forgiveness, He will surely forgive you. What matters now is what you do in your future. You are still human and you will make mistakes, but keep the faith. God doesn't hold grudges. Stop beating yourself up. Jesus died on the cross for all our sins so that you won't be separated from God. Don't give up. Study the Bible, and you will find wisdom, truth, relief, and unconditional love.

Answer 7

Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven.
There is no condemnation in Christ. Rom 8:1
When God forgives your sins, He wipes them out completely and does not remember them. "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Psalm 103:12
You can't go back and change things, you have to just move forward, seek forgivness from those you've wronged and move on with life. Salvation is a gift, and nobody deserved it. Rom 3:23 Guilt is a motivator for repentance and change, it is not a weight God puts on us as a punishment.

Answer 8

Please forgive me for ''intruding,'' since i'm not christian - i'm a muslim, but i couldn't help answering - coz i saw myself in u. You're doing well, keep seeking God and let Him into your heart. It won't be easy - but it won't be hard either. He's worth trying and giving, trust me. One more thing, ignore comments like Ben's, for example, please. God is the only Judge - ignore people who are taking out their own insecurity and frustrations on us all.

God is proud of you for taking the frst step, remember that - always. Just do your best to justify that pride from now on - and don't torture yourself with guilt too much. Don't u know when God has forgiven us? Once we forgive ourselves

Answer 9

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7). Just have faith and let His love fill you, and worry about Him first and foremost, even above finding a woman. He will help you in your struggle to do what's right, helping to overpower any of your own desires. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9). Have faith that His love will fill you, and be patient.

Answer 10

He has forgiven you already. No one can completely make up for the past, but you certainly can start over. Just pray for guidance, and forgiveness. I'm sure other true Christians will be praying for you too. Me included.
