There is a difference between "becoming religious" and having a personal relationship with God. Being religious is following a bunch of man made laws that we cannot ever seem to achieve. Having a personal relationship with God involves accepting Christ as the Savior for your sins, repenting and know that He is the only way to God. Chose Christ, and then you have chosen life.

You don' want to become religious my friend! You need to have a relationship with Jesus. Say a simple prayer, invite him into your heart and life to lead you and ask for forgiveness. Then, read the Bible and learn all about God> He will teach you!

If you really want to be religious. I'm assuming you mean Christian. Then go to a church, then another one. Until you find one in the area that suits you. I tried out four before I found one that felt like home when I walked in the doors and what the pastor said every sunday actually made sence to me. And from my experience seek out a smaller church. Not one of the huge super churches where you can hide in the crowd they won't do you any good. Once you find a church for you. Get involved talk to the pastor and follow your own heart. Do what you feel is right and it will be! You just have to trust God to lead you in the right path. I'll say a little prayer for you tonight. For his hand to gently guide you until you find the answers you are looking for! God Bless

do you want to become "religious" like pray to some one/thing? Or, do you want a personal relationship with your creator? That comes through accepting the sacrifice that was made on a cross. Jesus loves you, that is why He went through such pain. So that you can be with God in heaven.
did you know that in heaven, Jesus will be the only one with scars, while everyone else is perfect?

Pray sincerely but without specific expectations for a sign.
Better yet pray sincerely in the manner of "Gideon's fleece", in which Gideon asked God for a very specific and UNLIKELY sign to reassure him.

What does it mean to be a born again Christian? The classic passage from the Bible that answers this question is John 3:1-21. The Lord Jesus Christ is talking to Nicodemus, a prominent Pharisee and member of the Sanhedrin (a ruler of the Jews). Nicodemus had come to Jesus at night. Nicodemus had questions to ask Jesus.
As Jesus talked with Nicodemus, He said "...Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?" Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again...." (John 3:3-7).
The phrase "born again" literally means "born from above." Nicodemus had a real need. He needed a change of his heart--a spiritual transformation. New birth, being born again, is an act of God whereby eternal life is imparted to the person who believes (2 Corinthians 5:17; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 2:29; 3:9; 4:7; 5:1-4, 18). John 1:12,13 indicates that "born again" also carries the idea "to become children of God" through trust in the name of Jesus Christ.
The question logically comes, "Why does a person need to be born again?" The Apostle Paul in Ephesians 2:1 says, "And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins..." To the Romans in Romans 3:23, the Apostle wrote, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." So, a person needs to be born again in order to have their sins forgiven and have a relationship with God.
How does that come to be? Ephesians 2:8,9 states, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast." When one is "saved," he/she has been born again, spiritually renewed, and is now a child of God by right of new birth. Trusting in Jesus Christ, the One who paid the penalty of sin when He died on the cross, is what it means to be "born again" spiritually. "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation..." (2 Corinthians 5:17a).
If you have never trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, will you consider the prompting of the Holy Spirit as He speaks to your heart? You need to be born again. Will you pray the prayer of repentance and become a new creation in Christ, today? "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe on 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).
If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and be born again, here is a sample prayer. Remember, saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Christ that can save you from sin. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your salvation. "God, I know that I have sinned against you and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness - the gift of eternal life! Amen!
