Answer 1

Claim Jesus as your own- Invite him into your heart to stay, ask(and mean it) Him to forgive you of your sins.


The Bible says, "God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life"
The problem is that All of us have done, said or thought things that are wrong. This is called sin, and our sins have separated us from God.
The Bible says “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” God is perfect and holy, and our sins separate us from God forever. The Bible says “The wages of sin is death.”
The good news is that, about 2,000 years ago, God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins.
Jesus is the Son of God. He lived a sinless life and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. “God demonstrates His own love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”
Jesus rose from the dead and now He lives in heaven with God His Father. He offers us the gift of eternal life -- of living forever with Him in heaven if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me."
God reaches out in love to you and wants you to be His child. "As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe on His name." You can choose to ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and come in to your life as your Lord and Savior.
If you want to accept Christ, you can ask Him to be your Savior and Lord by praying a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. Please forgive my sins and give me the gift of eternal life. I ask you in to my life and heart to be my Lord and Savior. I want to serve you always."

Answer 2

Don't give up on your prayers. God will never let you down.

Look up the passages below, hope it helps you.
Salvation is the "saving" of a sinner from the righteous judgment of God. When someone appeals to God and seeks forgiveness in Jesus, his sins are forgiven. He is cleansed. His relationship with God is restored, and he is made a new creature (2 Cor. 5:17). All of this is the work of God, not man. Salvation is a free gift (Rom. 6:23).
We are saved from damnation. When anyone sins, and we all have (Rom. 3:23; 6:23), he deserves eternal separation from God (Isaiah 59:2). Yet, because of His love and mercy, God became a man (John 1:1,14 ) and bore the sins of the world in His body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24; 1 John 2:2). We are forgiven when we realize that there is nothing we can do to earn the favor of God and we put our trust in what Jesus did for us on the cross (Eph. 2:8-9; 1 Cor. 15:1-4). Only God saves. The only thing we bring to the cross is our sin.
Both God the Father (Isaiah 14:21) and Jesus (John 4:42) are called Savior; that is, deliverer from sin. Remember, it was the Father who sent the Son (1 John 4:10) to be the Savior.

Answer 3

GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!

The best thing that I can tell you is to call 1-800-759-0700 which is 700 CLUB or 1-888-731-1000 which is TBN and talk with the prayer partner who answers and tell them that you want to be saved and they will be SO HAPPY to lead you to Jesus.

I would also suggest reading John's gospel, the best, Romans, particularly the first 10 chapters, galatians and hebrews.

Our salvation is based on the BLOOD SACRIFICE of Jesus, the Son of God -- that is like gold currency - if you will - salvation is NOT an empty religious ritual or exercise. It is based on something absolutely REAL -- the bLOOD SACRIFICE of JESUS
and it is ONLY through that precious sacrificial BLOOD that we can ever be saved.

Don't trust in feelings, because they come and go. This is some-thing that I have struggled with until I got hold of one verse and it is the anchor for my soul. Exodus 12:13, where God said, WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, I WILL PASS OVER YOU!!!

In God's heavenly courtroom, it is the BLOOD that will NEVER be
thrown out of court. Satan will be when he comes to accuse you of past sins once you are saved -- he never harasses anyone until AFTER they become saved.

The way of salvation is laid out by Paul in Romans 10:9 and 10.

If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus -- that He is YOUR Lord and Savior -- and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

You need to know and believe and trust that Jesus is the only way
to God.

Acts 4:12 - John 8:24 - John 14:6 - John 3:16

Lev. 17:11 ~~ IT IS THE BLOOD THAT MAKES ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL.

Hebrews 9:22 - WITHOUT THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD, THERE
IS NO REMISSION OF SIN.

Exodus 12:13. -- WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, I WILL PASS OVER YOU!!!

If you read in Exodus about the bondage of Israel under pharogh,
...after all the other plagues, God told each family in Israel -- which would be the covenant descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob - NOT ISHMAEL - to take a lamb and out its blood on the doorposts and over the door and He told them to stay inside - UNDER the protection of the BLOOD -- until the angel of death had passed over.
Passover is the first of Israels major feast days of the year and it
was meant by God not only for what was going on at that time but
to portray our salvation - the Name of Jesus is really Y'shua - which is translated JOSHUA and that means SALVATION - as well as end time events, which are close to being fulfilled, but the
"spring feasts" as they are called, have all been fulfilled, starting with PASSOVER and the Feast of First Fruits, which is Jesus being raised from the dead, as the forerunner to our eternal res-urrection -- the unsaved dead will have another kind of resurrect-ion which will occur after the 1,OOO yr, millenial reign of Jesus on this earth.
Check out Zola Levitt Ministries and also HAL LINDSEY if you are
at all interested in end time evens and what it means for you.
Hal Lindsey is an EXCELLENT teacher of prophesy and what is really going on - that the news media really don't have a clue on, but the MAIN thing is to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord.....

And I wish you all the best!!!!

There is rejoicing in heaven for every person who comes to re-pentence and turns to Jesus as Savior. My paraphrase.

There is a wonderful site -- www.FathersLoveLetter.com.
You will be so blessed if you go there!!
At least I hope you will be.
It's beautiful!!!

Answer 4

Realize first that you don't have to be saved, as there is nothing to be saved from.

The point of life is to learn the lessons, and to do what you were meant to do. If you fail to learn them in this life, you'll have to face them in the next.

The Christians will tell you that all you have to do is to sincerely pray the salvation prayer, in whatever form the particular sect finds acceptable. Some will say you have to be baptized, either by sprinkling, dunking, or whatever the particular sect recommends. Some will say you need to be baptized in the spirit, evidenced by praying in tongues, or whatever. Some say that it's ok to sin after that, as you're not expected to strive for perfection.

I'm not a "god in a box" sort, and think that on Earth, none can truly know deity. Whatever path you choose, if chosen wisely, is good. Strive for perfection. Look to the spiritual icons, like Mother Theresa, St. Francis, the Dalai Lama and so many others. It's not about dogma, but growth.

Answer 5

1. I must realize that in my present condition I am a sinner before God. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3.23.)
2. I cannot save myself from eternal punishment in hell "For the wages of sin is death: but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord: (Romans 6:23)
3. Christ has paid for my sins and my punishment with His death on the cross. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him (Jesus should not perish, but have everlasting life: "(John 3:16)
4. I must accept His crucifixion as payment for my sins, personally. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10:13)
If you would like to have assurance of eternal life, then pray this prayer: "Lord, I know I am a sinner. I believe Your Son, Jesus Christ, died on the cross for my sins. Please forgive me of my sins and make me a new person. I commit my life to you today. Amen,"
If you prayed this prayer you can send for Dr. Stanley's booklet, "The Only Door to Heaven." www.intouch.org.
When you are saved, you are sealed with God's Holy Spirit for eternity. You cannot loose your salvation because you are now adopted into the family of God.
It is important to find a bible teaching church and become part of the body of Christ to help you grow in your walk with the Lord. Read the Bible daily.

Answer 6

you have allot of answers here so I don't know if you will even SEE THIS

My wife has BAD dreams and she says that she finds comfort that she is a child of God. When the dreams come she will turn on Christian radio(the devil can't stand to hear us praise Jesus).

Answer 7

Hi J,
Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. HEAR - Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
2. BELIEVE - In Mark 16:16, Jesus said “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.”
3. REPENT - Luke 13:3 I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.
4. CONFESS CHRIST - 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
5. BE BAPTIZED - Romans 6:3-4 do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
6. CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Jesus said in Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”
Send me a note if you have questions. I will help you find a Church in your area if you are interested. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

Answer 8

Trust in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. You pray for change, but have or do you trust in the Lord Jesus? Only through Jesus God hears your prayers and only through Jesus you are saved.

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


John 14:6

Answer 9

Paul tells how to become a Christian and James tells more about what is expected from us once we are Christians. You are saved when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Invite Holy Spirit in your heart, that makes all the difference. : )

Keep prying. God will answer. Study His Word. Find yourself a good church home, where they feed you spiritually. Pray. : )

Answer 10

ok i have been a christain all my life and all i can say is God always hears a prayer. No one really knows how and why God does certain things. And when you pray you got to mean it. come one with God and jsut ask him to fill in that gap in your heart man. and dont think about those bad dreams, that is the devil doing that and telling you to blame God for not fixing your dreams..DOnt let the devil tell you that, tell him to piss off and leave you alone. stay strong and read the BIBLE

Answer 11

We must acknowledge God as the Creator of everything, accepting our position in God's created order and purpose. Romans 1:20-21:
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened."

2. We must realize that we are sinners and that we need forgiveness. None of us are worthy under God’s standards. Romans 3:23:

“For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God.”

3. God gave us the way to be forgiven of our sins. He showed us His love by giving us the potential for life through the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:8:

“But God demonstrates His love toward us, in that, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

4. If we remain sinners, we will die. However, if we repent of our sins, and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we will have eternal life. Romans 6:23:

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

5. Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead and you are saved. Romans 10:9-10:

“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. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

6. There are no other religious formulas or rituals. Just call upon the name of the Lord and you will be saved! Romans 10:13:

“For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

God does care about you,He's always there for you.Sometimes the answer to our prayers is 'yes',sometimes it's 'no' and sometimes it 'wait'.Take comfort in scripture.
I found this verse to be helpful to me:
"You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry." Psalm 10:17
