Simply this: Because He says so!
It's the same now as it has always been. In the garden of Eden God simply said "In the day that you eat of that tree you shall surely die." God simply said it and it was so. Today God says, "He who calls on the name of the Lord and is baptized shall be saved." He said it and it is so. It's that simple! Anything else is a lie straight out of hell.
Take God at his Word. That's what the garden of Eden story is trying to teach us!
Do not trust your feelings regarding this. God's Word is more reliable than your feelings. Even Jesus Himself "felt" there was no Godly presence when He cried from the cross, "My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me?" But He was never forsaken! So, you see? Trust God's Word over your feelings.
"Lo, I am with you always. Even until the end of time." - Jesus
It's that simple. He has said it and it is so!
That's all you need.

That's willful and recurring sin, there may be NOTHING installed entrance if you happen to (no temptation) that God is not going to present some way out : "No temptation has seized you besides what's typical to guy. And God is devoted; he's going to no longer can help you be tempted past what you'll be able to undergo. But while you're tempted, he's going to additionally furnish some way out in an effort to rise up below it" (a million Corinthians 10:thirteen). Your habits shows that you're no longer being lead by way of God, and it makes your dating with Him questionable. It's additionally a mockery and a foul witness. You have to confess your sin, he's going to forgive you, and switch from it.. You're no longer making an attempt rough sufficient! God bless and pray approximately this, possibly search aid from a Christian pastor or anyone you'll be able to believe.

Just as the Holy Spirit came down on Jesus, it will come down on you as well. I experience the HS as a feeling that is beyond your ability to contain. You lose control of your body...you dance and shout and cry without the ability to stop..even if you are aware you are doing it...you cannot stop yourself....and you will speak in tongues. By that, I mean a praise comes up out of you that you cant limit to the words we have in the english language. It happened to me the first time at a church service when a visiting pastor told me to stand up, out of the blue and lift my hands. He began praying for me from the pulpit and before I knew it I went from the back of the church to the front, shoes gone, hair all over my head and feeling like I had just done a marathon. People were looking at me like...wow....that was God. Ask God to pour out His Spirit on you...He will not deny you the gift.

You can feel the difference. YOu will love him more. You'll want to do what pleases him. If you get closer to him you can feel him doing things purposely for you--he will show you an open door, bring you to a place where you can witness, give you a yearning for the mission field. You will want to see people get saved. You'll have a great love for the lost. Your life will show Christ through you. Read your Bible and pray and be attentive in church. Hope that helps.

Galatians 5:22-23, "But the fruit of the Spirit is LOVE,
JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS,
GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE:
against such, there is no law".
Because we are flesh & blood, we are weak, and no one
displays all of these attributes of the Spirit at all times, but
if you love these things, you are born of the Spirit!!

Lose your life so that you may gain your Life. Dive deep within yourself and discover the root of this "i" that you claim as yourself. It is only a story of life, imposed upon LIFE.
