All u have to do is to confess ur sins and ask Jesus into ur heart believing that He died for ur sins on the cross and that He is the only way back to the Father. We are all sinners and we are seperated from God, living a good life is not enough.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Being a better person will not work. Good deeds do not erase sin, which you have. What does erase sin is the blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross so you would not have to be punished for your sins and you can have eternal life with God. Then He rose from the grave to intercede for sinful humans like you and me. All you have to do to receive the forgiveness and washing of sin is to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior by faith. This faith will produce the fruits of the Spirit and the fruit of rightousness within your life. God does not want you to spend another day without Him, and He wants to give you eternal life through Jesus Christ. All that is up to you now is to tell God that you also want this and that you believe it with all your heart. God bless.

You cannot save yourself.
No ritual, religion, or good deeds can save you.
Only a person can save you.
The Lord Jesus Christ.
Call upon Him today in sincere prayer, the best you know how, from the heart.
Ask Him to save you.
Ask Him to forgive you.
Ask Him for His Holy Spirit.
Three things He requires you to believe:
1)That He is the eternal Son of God, sent from heaven by His Father.
2)That He died on a cross for the sins of the world, and for your sins in particular.
3) That He rose again from the dead, and is alive forevermore.

Wanting to avoid hell is a good thing. Wanting to live for eternity in heaven is even better. Wanting to seek the free forgiveness offered by Jesus to all repentant sinners is even better yet. Knowing that you can have forgiveness, joy and eternal life in heaven..... priceless.
Please understand that it is not about you being a better person. God does not tell us that we can earn our way to heaven. The Catholic church makes this claim, but the Bible does not support it.

First off, unlike many religions, being good or doing good things won't get you anywhere. You have to realize you are a sinner, and that you will be punished one day for your sins, and the punishment is hell and separation from God forever. However, to bypass this, God sent His son Jesus to die for the world's sins. He loved us that much. So realize a your a sinner in need of a Savior. Just pray and talked to God and tell him your ready to turn away from your sins, ask Him to forgive you of your sins, and for Him to come into your heart. That's it. pretty simple but pretty powerful.

Love thy(your) neighbor as thy(you) love thyself (yourself)
Be kinds of strangers but do not spoil them
Even be kind of strange or usual person or people you will see or meet.
Pray to God everyday and go to the church every Saturday or Sunday( it can be both too)
Don't do any legal or illegal drugs that makes you feel high unless it's for medical reasons
Even be kind to atheist or people with different or same religion because you do not want some enemies either.
Yes, English is my First language but not everybody is perfect.
