Accept Jesus just as you are, and build a relationship with Him. Read His word (start in the gospel of John), pray and attend church. If you mess up, ask Him to forgive you. That's what Jesus is all about. No one is perfect; that is the real reason we need Him in the first place! Jesus understands you better than you understand yourself. That is only one of the many reasons we Christians love Him so much! Come on in, the water's fine! And, oh, yeah--welcome to the kingdom of God!

You don't need to clean your life up before you turn to God. You can't do it. That's what God is here for. It's hard to turn your life around but it's so worth it! Ask God to help you fight the temptation to party and have sex. Also tell your friends about this and ask them to help keep you accountable.
By the way Christianity is not against sex. Inside marriage it is a beautiful expression of love.

You are young and driven primarily by your emotions and physiology. Take some time each day to sit quietly and ask yourself if your actions are making you a better person or a better member of society. Are you respecting your own body by your actions? Listen to that inner voice that prompted you to ask your question above. That is a clue that something is amiss in your life.
One is never too sinful to be rejected by God. Take heart that He is always ready for you to seek His righteousness no matter what you have done in this world. Don't use the excuse "I am not worthy" to keep you from turning from your hedonistic lifestyle.

Whenever a call is made on us, it requires us to move in a different direction.
While those things might be all you think you know, you have acknowledged that there is more for you to know.
If you really feel that Christ is calling you to him, the best thing you can do is start moving in that direction. Is it sometimes a slow process? Yes.
God isn't going to completely cut you off with no where to turn. There will be alternatives offered.
Just don't be afraid. Be strong and courageous.

Just because you aren't an angel doesn't mean religion has to be the answer. You don't have to turn to religion. I hate that. Too many people think they need to be "saved." You can't just decide one day that you believe in a religion. If you believe in it, believe in it. you can't force it. Don't let them brainwash you. If you want to get your life together, cut down on the partying and keep your legs closed. It's really not THAT hard. If you are in a monogomous relationship, enjoy the sex.

Try reading the book of John in the bible and learning a little about Jesus. If you want to become a Christian, it should be will thought out. God loves you and will help you turn away from those things in time. Your part is to go to church regularly, read the bible and pray regularly also. If you mean business, God will help you and so will people at church. Find a church that has young people in it to fellowship with.

Have all the time you need, one of the name of God is Patience. You can read (if I'm able to well translate) "The Song of the Songs", in the Bible it comes after Qòelet. Love and do what you want, like St. Augustine said. You have a sure datum-point: what makes you well, without doing you or someone harm, must be good for everybody. Ciao.

Every one of us has some sort of sin that we seem to keep turning back to. Like some of the others said... you don't need to be perfect to have God be apart of your everyday life. I was there as well and once i devoted my life to Christ whole heartedly He helped me to overcome some of the things that i couldn't let go of on my own. You're never going to be completely pure untill the day your with our Father in Heaven but theres always something to strive for and you can strive to be like Jesus... because that's something we're called to do. But take it one step at a time so you don't overwhelm yourself and fall right back into your old ways. God Bless you and keep praying! Bible studies or Church groups are so important to help you have fellowship and people who can help you get through things as well. You need prayer from other people as well.

Have you ever hear the Hymn, "Just as I am". That is how you go to Jesus, just as you are. You can't save yourself. He is the only one who can set you free from a destructive life. You know after years of partying and uncaring sex, it gets cold and unfeeling. Only Jesus can give you the Love you really need. God Bless and go for it.

God is calling you. That is how he works. I would find a Bible believing church in your area. One that believes in water baptism by immersion to have all of your sins forgiven, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in in unknown language. Please do it right away. There may be an urgency to why God is calling you now, so please do it right away. Don't wait until your ready, He will help make you ready. For the sake of your soul, There is a reason why He is calling you. Let Him show you a better way to live. Please,I am begging you.
