Going to Heaven?

Question

I've been having a lot of thoughts, and a lot of specifications about who I should be. I've been pointing out a lot of imperfections with who I am. I blamed God for this. I got into an argument with a close friend and lost my temper, I basically entered a physical and emotional rage. I started to blame God for my faults and everything I have become. I'm just counting down the years till I can join the military because I have determination that school sucks. Because of this I further demean myself. IE "I am too talkative in class, I am rejected from my piers." I blamed God for all of this. And because of that I have not prayed for quite some time. Prior to these last few days, I had been constantly praying and was very religious. When I blamed god, I did the exact opposite of this. I feel like all my imperfections need to be changed. I need to stay quiet, do well in school before I join the military. So can you help me fix this things? I need to go to Heaven, and make my mom proud...

Answer 1

You should not blame God for your misfortunes, God gave us free will and we reap what what we sow. The reason you have imperfections is because of your sin. Sin simply means disobedience of God. Don't worry we all have sin, every man born on earth since the time of Adam all the way to the last child that will be born on this earth. For the Bible clearly states "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Rom. 3:23. Your problem is that you are seperated from God and you need to be brought back to him. God is holy and cannot tolerate or have fellowship with sin, nor can he allow sin into heaven. If you only sinned once in your life then you could not make it into heaven, you must be perfect in word, thought, and deed. That's a big problem for all of us, if it was left entirely up to us then none of us would be in heaven but would receive the just dues for our sins, death and hell. So how can you go to heaven? Two words, Jesus Christ. God saw man in its sinful state and realized they needed a saviour. So Almighty God left heaven and became the man Jesus Christ. There he lived a perfect life without sin and then shed his innocent blood on the cross for our sins. Jesus died for you. After he died he was burried and on the third day rose from the dead defeating death and hell. Then he accended into heaven where he is at the right hand of God the Father, being the mediator between sinful man and a holy God. Jesus did not shed his blood for nothing he shed it for you. When you ask Jesus to come into your heart as your Lord and saviour you receive him by faith and all your sins past, present, and future are forgiven. You are now a child of God because you believe in the gift God has given you through Christ Jesus and because you have become a child of God and your punishment for sin has already been paid for by God himself, you now will dwell with him forever here on earth and in heaven. That is how you get to heaven you believe what God has done for you here on earth through Jesus Christ. God does not only give you eternal life in heaven through Jesus Christ once you accept Christ he wants to be Lord or Master over every area in your life. He will guide and lead you, pick you up when you fall, and he will never leave you or forsake you. When you turn towards Jesus, you turn away from something your sin, this is called repentance. Those who truly believe in the Lord Jesus will want to serve him and you cannot serve him if you live in sin. So God sends the Holy Spirit in Jusus name to dwell in believers so they can live a rightous life before God. Once Jesus is the Lord of your life he will make you what he wants you to be and all these imperfections in your life will be worked out and you will have an eternal joy and peace in your life despite any troubles you may be going through now or later down the road. To receive this wonderful gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ all you have to do is tell God that you have sinned against him, that you are sorry and forsake your sins, and ask Jesus to come into your heart as your Lord and saviour because you believe in what he did for you on the cross. I pray with all my heart that if you have not done this you will do so today, remember if you die without Christ in your life, you will pay for your sins. There is nothing more important than your eternal destiny and the only way to heaven is through Jusus Christ alone, being good and religous will not get you to heaven. Please contact me if you have questions.

Answer 2

Well first I want to say that Julian's answer is amazing. Second you are going through a rough time, but everone goes through it and even if it seems like others are happy many feel very empty and try to fill the void with worldy things. You are doing the right thing by praying and turning to God. He will never let you down and you can always trust him. And remember that Heaven is Gods free gift to every person in this world and all we have to do if love and accpet him.

It is always hard to change at first becuase Satan doesnt want you to and he will make it hard. Others may not like your change becuase they can be jealous of your faith and love. But God will help you meet other people that are kind and look to heaven as well.

-I hope this helps. Never lose your faith

Answer 3

Wow.

Okay, first of all, your mom is going to love you no matter what you are or become. I can't promise this to you, but I can promise that she is more interested in you being being happy then whether or not you go to heaven.

Second, what if I told you that you were God. Think about it. Everytime you blamed God, you were blaming yourself. Every time you prayed to God, you were pleading to yourself. Evertime you were nice to God, you were nice to yourself, and every time you were mean to God, you were mean to yourself, which to me explains the towering emotional rage.

Yes, school sucks, but I can assure you the military will not be an easy ticket. Just try and enjoy your life. Don't worry about your imperfections, and for God sake don't worry about whether or not you'll get into heaven. I mean Jesus man, think with your head a little.

Answer 4

the only way to Heaven is to be born again: go to God knowing He is who He said He is, know that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God and He died for your sins, and repent (sorry+change).

prayer is anything you say to God: not neccessarily eyes closed, nor hands folded, nor knees bent. Pour out your feelings to God. It's a good idea. Besides, who better to help you?

as for talking in class......try a little self control. Every once in a while, eliminate one thing you feel you have to say, preferably the least maningful. Rejected by your piers....that depends on what you're doing. If it's because of how you dress, you could try and change that to fit in. If it's how you act....maybe you should change your lifestyle (unless it's a good lifestyle you're in). If it's because they think you're too needy, try and get some compassionate people to hang with. i don't know, everyone's situattion is different.

Answer 5

First ask God for His help....Have daily devotions and spend time in His word each day.....Meditate on Philippians 4:8.
And ask for prayer here whenever you need help. Your Christian Family here will help you when we can.
I will be praying for you.

Answer 6

well I'm glad your decided to come back! but you could start by apologizing to the friend you yelled at, bring up your grades, and how about a youth group at your local church? No matter what ar who you are the kids in youth group will not reject you...unless your gay. so good luck!

Answer 7

immediatly go to confession. God will forgive you if you truely mean to confess it. i, too, am rejected in class. i get detentions like every week. i blame other people cause of my problems. but i just confess it. you should try.

Answer 8

Here's what you need to do:

Turn to God.
Tell him that you won't let your struggles trouble you because you know He's always with you and guiding you.
^If you let him know that you trust him, just watch the magic happen.
