Answer 1

Romans 8:13-16 (New International Version)
13For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live,
14because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 (New International Version)
13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil. (see also Romans 2:4-6)

If you truly believed, would you do the things you do?
Read your bible. You will find 100s of verses directly answer your question.

Answer 2

Going to church doesn't save you, anymore than believing that Jesus exists saves you. The bible says this: "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved". It is a conversion of the heart, a repentance of sin, and accepting Christ as Lord, that saves anyone.

A person who is truly born again in Christ has a desire to learn more about Him, and that would naturally mean learning about the bible, the word of God. A good place to do that? A bible teaching church!

Answer 3

Hope:
Do you hope God exists? Hope enough to seek God even not knowing whether He exists or not?

Belief
Belief is holding as true that God exists. You have to believe in order to seek God for we don't seek that which we don't hold as existing.

Faith
Faith is acting on the belief.

So where are you in this progression? How do you plan to seek God if you won't go where God's word is preached?

This is just a wild guess but I think you're yanking our chain.

Answer 4

You do need to believe John 3:16, but then live a life that pleases God, your relationship with Him grows every day.

Answer 5

Someone who cares isnt entirely rite. Jesus said with the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. Just stay close to him. Ask him 4 4giveness, pray regularly. Church is just christians coming together to celebrate the Lord. It strengthens the soul. I reccomend finding a chruch that u really like and get involved.

Answer 6

Even the devils believed and professed Jesus was the Christ so no it is not enough. Good works are required also.

I wonder who has read their bible? Faith without works is DEAD.

Answer 7

yes, all u must do is to believe Jesus Christ is the sin offering who reconnects u and every1 to God, but u must show urself to be His son by obeying the teachings of Jesus and having faith and repenting. about the Church, yes it is good to go but i myself don't go much these days, but yes i am faithful who still keeps God in mind in everything i do.

Answer 8

sure in case you somewhat have faith. And believing is greater effective than merely asserting "i think in Jesus". you will desire to stay it. The Bible additionally says "with out Holiness no guy ought to even see The Lord." in case you somewhat have faith in Jesus then you definately will start to shape your existence to his teachings and stay perfect and be born back and sin no longer. as quickly as you compromise for Jesus into your heart then you definately shall somewhat have faith. additionally in spite of what some people say you do no longer would desire to be baptized to get to Heaven. it is an act of obedience no longer needed for salvation.

Answer 9

Even Satan believes. You must also admit that you are a sinner (done wrong things or failed to do right things) and ask God to forgive you. Then, live for God with His help.

Answer 10

According to Christianity you dont need any deeds.

This is a message very foreign to the 5,000 + years of Abrahamic Prophets ands revelation.

Take your chances if you want !!
