He said:
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
(Matthew 11:28-30)
The invitation stands........
He said also:
"All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away."
(John 6:37)

"For 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.For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."
(John 3:16-18)
However,
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)

and He says of some:
"For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith." (Hebrews 4:2)

So then, how to lay hold of the God's invitation?

"But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:8-13)

Come in faith, praying, remind God of His promise to save through the name of His Son and take Him at His word. Ask Him to forgive you your sins, give you the gift of eternal life, and confess your faith in Jesus, as 1) the eternal Son of God
2) the One who died on a cross for your sins
3) Risen from the dead.
Now thank Him and start learning by reading His word. I recommend you begin with the entire New Testament, and then work your way into the Old Testament.
Peace to you.

I don't consider as soon as stored consistently stored. Why could Paul "die everyday" or repent daily for brand spanking new sins that he dedicated if that was once real. It could no longer were fundamental. I additionally do not consider that they have been by no means capable to satisfy the Lord. I suppose well folks fall prey to the satan for anything cause. I recognize that oftentimes while matters are on a good keel and not anything is mistaken that I oftentimes do not hold Him in the leading edge of my brain. I genuinely love God. It isn't an instant factor wherein immediately we're all well. Even on days while I suppose I am doing good oftentimes I do whatever no longer fairly proper. I would possibly suppose or say whatever I should not. I am simply grateful that He offers with us over the ones matters and makes it possible for us an area for repentance. If I have been to not repent then I could be in chance of Hell far and wide once more. We can stroll clear of God oftentimes with out even understanding it. It's the little foxes that ruin the vine. A good which means character would possibly uncover themselves proper again out into the arena via letting a bit of factor right here (like being judgmental) or a bit of factor there (like being jealous) pile up till you're within the equal location wherein you began. I am so grateful that His grace is ample and He will convey us again to Him if we desire to return again.

Jesus said in Mathew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven – only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and in your name cast out demons and do many powerful deeds?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’ (King James Version)

Jesus did NOT LIE when he made clear that you must do Gods will in order to be saved. He even mentioned that many "christians" will think they will be saved but Jesus would consider them "lawbreakers" and would not be saved. Believing that your a good person means nothing if you don't do GODS WILL. Don't think that your going to sin all your life and at the last minute you can get away with a life of evil.

Jesus also said in Mathew 24:13, "But the person who endures to the end will be saved" So you must endure doing Gods will til the end of this world.

When Noah was in the Ark many people had last minute repentance but were not saved, because that last minute repentance was hipocracy, it wasn't a true repentance from the heart since they had been warned ahead of time. If they had TRUELY repented they would have done it when Noah preached Gods destruction. Thats true repentance!

2 Peter 2:5, "and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world".
(King James Version)

I believe that anyone has a chance to be saved, so long as they believe in Jesus and God and have a relationship with them, and also that they are forgiven for their sins. Hope this helps!

JESUS came to save the world...that doesnt mean that the world is automatically saved...it means that for those who accept the gift of salvation, and then live in obedience to GOD as JESUS Himself did, they will be saved. it doesnt matter if that person was a child rapist or an almost perfect person. if that person truly repents, and GOD alone knows a persons heart, then that person will be saved.
the bible says we are saved by the skin of our teeth...our teeth have no skin. GOD knows before hand who will be saved and who wont. we dont. i believe that GOD chooses those who are to be saved from the beginning...because HE already knows who will accept salvation and live in obedience to HIM.

The free gift of eternal life is available to all, but it requires that we deny ourselves some worldly pleasures and sacrifice ourselves to God. “And all who believe in God's Son have eternal life. Those who don't obey the Son will never experience eternal life, but the wrath of God remains upon them” (John 3:36). We will not be given the opportunity to repent from our sins after death because once we see God face to face, we will have no choice but to believe in Him. He wants us to come to Him in faith and love now. If we accept the death of Jesus Christ as payment for our sinful rebellion against God, we are guaranteed not only a meaningful life on earth, but also everlasting life in the presence of Christ.

Definetely ! He is all so merciful and all so loving and that he died on the cross for all of us so that we may all be saved from our sins . So even if we are the worst criminal in the world when we sincerly repent and deeply ask for his forgiveness for our sins we can be saved.

Whosoever will let him come to me and drink, and as the scripture has said rivers of living water shall flow from his innermost being. Jesus John 7:38 I think.

Yes he did, but he only shows and tells you how to be saved , He gives no guarantee,that you are going to be saved. You must obey each and everyone of his commandments, Many are called but few are chosen.

He said that zoologists will likely go to Hell cause they have been brain-washed with evolution.

Here's something else, but Jesus didn't exactly say it, but maybe he wanted to: Astronomers will go to hell cause they don't believe that Joshua stopped the sun for a day.
