How do you know if you are worshiping God enough to make up for your sins?

Answer 1

There's no way you can earn your way into Heaven. All you have to do is believe in Jesus. You alone can't make up for your sins.

Answer 2

Can you ever worship God enough to make up for your sins? No way!! It is a gift of God, not something that can be earned by how much you do anything or only the rich would be in Heaven. If you have given your life to God and accepted the GIFT of eternal life, you will want to do the things He says to do that is right such as keeping the ten commandments and such. Works is the result of the Grace that was shown in giving you the Gift of life eternal, not something that can be earned but something you do because you are saved.

Answer 3

You cannot do anything to "make up for your sins". Jesus's death the cross and Ressurection makes up for all sins, past, present and future.

There is no concept in Christianity of "worshiping God enough".

Just follow Jesus' commandments (Matthew 22:37-40)
and you should be assured Heaven.

37 And He said to him, " 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.'

38 "This is the great and foremost commandment.

39 "The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.'

40 "On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

Answer 4

Q: How do you know if you are worshiping God enough to make up for your sins?

You do error thinking that you can do so much good to cover up a little bad. Have you not read:

1Cor:5:6: Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

or:

Mt:12:33: Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

Mt:7:17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Mt:7:18: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

Lk:6:43: For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.



In His Holy and Precious Name, Jesus Christ

Answer 5

You do not "Make up" for your sins by worshipping.
No amount of work can do that - your sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus, and that his dying in your place can forgive your sin. If you ask, and belief that he can forgive sin, then they are forgiven.
Worshipping is the response to God's forgiveness, love and mercy - he created us, loves us and lives in our hearts - so we love and worship him.

Answer 6

The bad news has already been said: you alone can not make up for your sins.

The good news is that you realize you are a sinner, and have expressed a desire to make it up to God. Good for you!

Check out BibleGateway.com, and find the King James Version (not the new version). Here's what you need to do to ensure salvation from God, in spite of your sin:

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death"
Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"
Romans 10:13 "For whosoever (this includes you!) shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

You can't pay for your sins yourself (on earth). You have two options: accept Jesus' payment (death) for your sins and join Him in heaven, or pay them for yourself in hell for ever and ever.

Do you want to go to heaven? Pray to God. Let him know that you know you sin, and ask him to forgive you. Tell him you know that Jesus died on the cross to save you from your sin payment in hell, and that you'd like him to come into your heart and save you.

If you acknowledge your sin, ask for forgivenss, and ask to be saved, and mean it...congratulations! According to the Holy Word of God, you're officially saved, and on your way to heaven.

When you sin in the future (and being saved won't keep you from sin entirely), simply ask the Lord for forgiveness. He will forgive you! See 1 John 1:9

Meanwhile, when you DO get saved (and I'll be praying that you do, if you aren't already), pray daily, read the Bible, attend church, and grow to develop a relationship with God. Life's good!

Answer 7

I think that we ought to strive to worship God for purer motives than just to "make up for our sins." I'm not condemning you for your question. I'm just saying that I think we ought to worship God out of pure love and devotion to God, rather than for any ulterior motives. Once we have developed this kind of pure love for God, then I think we should just leave ourselves in the hands of God. I think we can trust that God is not going to be unjust. And though we may sin (we WILL sin), God will forgive, if you have this kind of close relationship to him.

We ought to ask him to help us overcome our sins, and our sinful nature altogether. Not just for our own sakes, but so that we do not hurt others. We should strive for such pure motives, that the reason we do not want to sin is so that we do not cause hurt to God and to others. Not just so that we are assured of a place in Heaven.

This kind of pure motive is the ideal, and even if we are unable to currently live up to that ideal, we should at least strive for it, I think.

Answer 8

1) According to the Islam faith,"humans" don't born with sin.
2) If you commit a sin,the best thing you can do is to forswearing and repenting with your whole heart. And wishing that the God forgive you.

Answer 9

All you really have to do is ask God to forgive you...Gods word says that once you ask for forgiveness he is righteous to forgive and that he blurs away all of your sins BUT you do have to ask him to forgive you.

I know I sinned today so lets ask God to forgive us together,

Lord I know I am a sinner, I pray that you forgive me of ALL sin. Help me turn from evil and to focus more on you. Father in the name of Jesus I pray for the forgiveness of my sins. Amen

Now if you believe in your heart He will forgive you...God Bless you

Answer 10

Wow. Jesus died for our sins. It's up to us to gratefully accept His gift for us. There's nothing,on our own, we can do to make up for our sins bc we're flawed human beings (thanks 2 A & E...no, not Arts & Entertainment by the way. Smile.) However, this isn't a license to make poor decisions, either...even though God gave us free will.
Happy Sabbath.
