What does it take to stand in the presence of God?

Question

I hear a lot of people criticize Christianity or Christians for being human, using the Bible (King James Version preferably) please explain to people how a person is saved and or able to stand in the presence of a Holy God.

Answer 1

The bible tells us if we call upon the name of the Lord, you will be saved. Say..".Lord Jesus, I confess that I am a sinner and ask your forgiveness. I know that you died on the Cross for my sins and I want you to come into my heart and save me in Jesus name."..amen The bible says that one day EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW BEFORE HIM........so those above me are going to get sore knees.

Answer 2

Your question implies many things. First, there is the assumption that there is a Holy God. Assuming there is, then you need to figure out which worldly religion is the right path to God. Then you need to follow the guidelines that said religion imposes on how to reach God.
As far as I know from the Bible and my churching, the way to be saved is through believing in God. John 3:16 states: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son; the whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life."
However, I find it a bit futile to see Christians asking questions about how to be a Christian.

Answer 3

I would think only God knows "how" a person is "saved" but I understand what you mean here. To start, God would need to "stand at the door and knock" (John 10:7, Revelation). You have asked a powerful question here which deserves a powerful answer which, I believe, only God could answer with any authority. I say this because there are many nonChristians in the world.

Answer 4

i don't have self belief so, although the Bible says that some have entertained angels without understanding it. I had a woman come to my door one time, which develop into extraordinary because there develop into no soliciting allowed the position I lived on the time, and that i not in any respect had solicitors. yet she develop into from a church, (which I later appeared for yet not in any respect discovered) and he or she gave me a stern caution about disobeying God which I skipped over and which led to large own calamity for me. no matter if an angel, or only a happenstance targeted visitor from a church which closed down some weeks after she visited (it develop right into a storefront church, so that is achievable), i am going to not in any respect recognize.

Answer 5

The ability to stand next to any of God's creations, since all of God's creations are, in effect, God.

Maybe it's just the ability to control the muscles in the back and legs that make the motion to stand possible.

Or it could be to listen to God's words, not the words of humans bent on controlling others through the use of words and texts that are claimed to be "God's words", and to think for yourself.

If God is God, God doesn't need the help of mere humans to interpret God's words for God.

Answer 6

Through the process of repentance. Christ died for all of our sins, but that is only made possible when we repent of our mistakes and try to improve. If we live the best lives we can live, and have a pure heart and clean hands, we will be able to stand in the presence of God.

Answer 7

The only thing that makes us humans holy is the divine life of God (sanctifying grace) that's (hopefully) indwelling our immortal soul.

Without that, we're toast.

Answer 8

You have to have a good imagination, as well as have a very narrow view of the world. Be in the dark as far as any human development or knowledge as far as science and history goes, that stuff is bad for believing.

Answer 9

I heard it was hard to stand in the presence of GOD. most people will prostrate them self before him because we are not worthy enough.
