You already know right from wrong...so set a good example for your friends....so that they want what you have....Fath in Jesus...and then you can be the one to tell them about HIM...

Forget Christ. This is my advice. It will only caused you guilt and stop you from enjoying life to it's fullness. You are a teen and there is so much for you to experience and learn and if you waste the youth time it will be gone and never will you have the chance to taste the wonderfull life of it. Many have regrets. Christianity are for the lost soul, but you sound to be OK. When you have experience life to it's fullness than consider Christ. You will have better experience and wisdom.
You are of the world and have the rights to enjoy the things the world offer, e.g. SEX. Give yourself to it and enjoy your body. Experience with same partners and then you will be able to know your preference. Go and do all the unholy things first. For you will be a better help to others with your experience.
It is not worth serving Christ for you have no guarantee of a place in Heaven. A small mistake and you are thrown to Hell. Read the fine prints of the Bible. Not all are call and few is chosen. God chooses who He wants in Heaven and you cannot say but hope that you are of His favor.
FORGET CHRIST.

As for what "rileysmurf" said in ignorance...somehow
assuming wrongly that we believe "anyone" can ever work their way into heaven by being "good." She did have a point about going to church (when you can), the no drugs, no premarital sex, thing, and of course giving of our time and posessions (according to God's will not ours) is always a blessing to us and those we help.
It's always good to avoid what God tells us to avoid...drunkenness (I would think getting high on drugs falls into this category), and sexual immoralty of course...
But being a better Christian begins with you and the Holy Spirit in you...and you have the desire to be a better follower of Christ, so obviously the Holy Spirit is working in you to make you so! It's wonderful to hear, and I also want to be a better Christian each and every day...I think it is something we all would like.
Praying for Wisdom, for more faith, more love, more patience, and understanding is always beneficial. Reading God's word is by far the best way to know more of what God expects of us and how we are to achieve becoming the person He made us to be...
Daily reading helps to keep His word in our mind and this arms us against temptation and will allow us to resist the daily traps that are always worming their way into our lives...pray while you read as if in conversation with Him through His word, because that is what it is when we read, and this kind of interaction is edifying and powerful and is building your relationship with Christ.
I pray you grow very strong in your faith, and that you do become the woman God made you to be! See you in the Kingdom.
Take Care and God Bless you sister!

If you truly want a closer with with God, then read his word and pray daily. Set a certain time of the day for this. Put a note on your door do not disturb, turn the ringer off on your phone, no T.V. or Computer should not be on for they create a distraction.
When you enter in to pray do not look at your clock or pray in a room with no clock, another distraction.
Be faithful to him and he will find favor with you,
Dedicate yourself in prayer to the things that can bring a closer walk with God.
And above all things do something good for another person, some you may not even know.
God Bless.

You really need to think about this. Your body is a temple of God, and when you drink or use other substances, he will not allow his Spirit to live in you. The Bible even says, you cannot worship God and the Devil, and drinking is DEf. not worshipping God. People always say it is as easy as JUST believing in Jesus to get to Heaven, but he died on the cross for our sins, do you really think he is going to make it that simple for you? Especially if you are worshipping him AND the Devil by drinking, partying, etc? IT is awesome that you want to become a better person of God, but I believe it takes a lot more to get to Heaven. The Bible even says, John 3:16 Baptist to just believe in Jesus was BEFORE the day of Pentecost(the day he died on the cross) But then, in Acts 2:38 (after Jesus had died), Peter (who God gave the keys to the ingdom of Heaven) told everyone what they had to do to be saved. People confuse the word "repent"...if you TRULY repent and receive the Holy Ghost, you will REALLY be a changed person. Also, with the way this world is going, you should be looking to live 100% for God and should have fear about where you are going when Jesus comes back! I am a senior in College, was in a sorority, partied all of the time, and drank, then I decided to get closer to God and found out the truth..and now I have not had a sip of alcohol in almost a yr. It was especially hard for me because my best friends party and I did the same thing with them for 3 yrs of my college career! If you have ANY questions, feel free to email me!

"For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. . . .
I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life . . . loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life" (Deuteronomy 30:11,19-20).
we are where we are in life because of the choices we've made.
Every step forward has been because of a good choice and every step backward has been because of a bad choice.
It's traceable through our individual lives as well as through history. In fact, all of God's Word is a story of people's choices.
You can choose to get to a better place with God before the day is over. You can regain ground lost from past mistakes. You can press on to experience the amazing blessings God has hand-picked for you.

You should live your life to the fullest, and more, because Jesus came that you "might have life and have it more abundantly!"
A few things you can do to add Christ to your life is keep a prayer journal, read the Bible, and be in fellowship with other believers.

Live your convictions, preach Christ. That's what I do. I don't party, nor am I a wild teenager. But what I do is trust God. You can do what you want with your youth, but trust God. And what will you trust Him for is you don't know His word? So read His word and where God promises something, trust Him for it.
Have a good life, if that's what you call good, and stay with God through it.
Oh yeah . . . . . . you might want to stop telling yourself that you are good. There is none good but God.

Every day, do something nice for someone. Smile at someone who looks lonely or sad. Offer to help someone. Have a conversation with an older person, asking them about themselves. Be nice to the girl that others make fun of. Walk away when someone starts to tell a dirty joke.
There are lots of little ways to please God.

Read and talk to Jesus when you first wake or before bed at night. Think of Him throughout the day.
You should live life to the fullest. Just remember who and what you are.
