You can never be good enough to gain your own salvation. Trust in Jesus, He has already done the difficult part. If you focus constantly on sin then sin is what you will get but if you can trust Jesus and focus on Him you gain everything. Praying for you.

Remember Jesus is right by your side at all times. What do you want Jesus observing you doing? He is much more than observing me, but He isn't there waiting for me to mess up. He already knows I will mess up and He loves me anyway! It is the struggle itself to "do the right thing" that is evidence of who I really am. It a gajillion (lots) more reasons also but that is I believe Jesus told paul especially Rom 7 and 8. Instead of trying to be good and failing if I am able to rejoice in the fact that God is always with me then the being good will follow. In other words when I drive the bus it goes in the ditch but when I let Jesus drive and trust Him we tend to go amazing places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMan If you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, that He is God and that He died on the cross for your sins, then you are as "good" a Christian as your pastor, or a person in jail who was just saved a second ago. Christians are a part of God's family and He loves us all . If you feel you want to be baptised then I think you should do so, it is a wonderful show of faith. Oh and welcome to the site.

We don't go to movies with such content. Our TV is set to block that stuff. If something sneaks in, we add it to the blocked list. I think it is obvious to everyone that TV is primarily R-rated today, and in many cases, X-rated. Are you in a local Christian fellowship? Check about water baptism.

God loves you and you are saved". Quite the contrary. We can not mock God. We can not have disrespect and dishonor God in what we do in our everyday lives. Willfully choosing to sin. Yes, we are as born again Christians sinners without even realizing it but we do our best to be obedient to God. Doing what the Bible tells us to do. Remember we will be judged as Christians in everything we do while in these bodies on earth. Galatians 6:7 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. The Bible tells us how we are to live our lives as born again Christians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
