i need help someone make me a believer

[john14:6]

yourlocalbutcher,

 

You might find my testimony helpful here at http://www.worthychristianforums.com/topic/182247-what-does-it-mean-to-believe-in-jesus/

 

also, the following articles by the late Dr. John R. Rice are excellent in explaining God's way of salvation.

1. "How to come to  Jesus" and 2. "What Must I Do to be Saved?"

I could give a link for them but I'm not sure that is permitted here; you can easily find them on the internet; they are well worth reading.

No one here can make you a believer.  I would not worry about what denomination to join at this point, either.     There is only way to become a believer and it has nothing to do with denominations.

1.  The first thing you must do, is to realize that you are a sinner (Rom. 3:23).  All of us have sinned. None of us, are born in right standing with God (Romans 3:10) None of us are righteous in God's sight, apart from Jesus.   A sinner is one who is in rebellion against the Lord.  All of us have violated God's laws and are born in a state of sinfulness.  This has separated us from God.  There is a rift between us and God, created by our sin that we cannot repair.   So the first step is acknowledging God's assessment of our situation.

2.  The second thing we need to do is repent of our sin and ask Jesus for forgiveness.  To repent means more than simply being sorry.  To Repent means to stop, turn around, and go in the opposite direction.  It means that we not only confess our sin and ask for forgiveness, but that we make a decision to go the other way, to be willing to be obedient.

3.  The third step is to realize that God loves you and has made a way salvation for you through His Son Jesus.   God forgives us ONLY on the basis of Jesus and His death on the cross.   Jesus is God the Father's solution to our sin and He loved us enough to send Jesus because he doesn't want us to perish  (John 3:16).   God wants us to have eternal life, His very life living within us.   It is a free gift  (Romans. 6:23).   It is not something we can earn or ever be good enough to deserve.  It is His gift given freely out of the riches of His grace toward us.

4.  All that is left is to humbly and obediently ask Jesus to be your Savior and Lord and mean it from the heart.  There is no scripted prayer.  Simply tell him that you acknowledge that you a sinner, and that you need Him.   Tell Him that you repent of your sins and ask Him to come into your heart and save you.   He has promised that He will save anyone who comes to Him.  If you mean it from your heart, you will be saved  (Romans 10:9-10, 13).

It really isn't that hard at all.  That's the most important part.   You don't have to belong to a particular denomination and you don't have to be physically in a church to pray that prayer.  You can be anywhere.   All that matters at THIS point is that you pray and that you mean it from the heart.   

What a wonderful post ;
