You see, I want to change my life for God, to repent of all my sins, but I feel I may need to dump everything and everyone to do that. I live with my family and they aren't believers. And till now I was finishing college so I could get a full-time career ( healthcare because I want to help people) so I could save up enough to move out and live as God wants me to. But even then would I be living within God's terms if I kept in contact with friends and family, who are not believers? By leaving would I be following God or just running away from it all?
But then I'd put my family and friends through grief if I did that. And I'd be living on the streets cause I don't have enough to live on.
I feel so lost and Idk what to do to follow Jesus properly. Christians tell me to pray and ask and repent receive the Holy Spirit but nothing happens. And I don't get any answers from God.
People make god and the bible complicated and its not...the two most important of gods laws are Love god and love your neighbor as you would yourself. Buy loving your neighbor you are loving god..by helping others you are loving god. And understand your gonna screw up over and over and over again and god is okay with that...you ask him to forgive you and keep trying. Better yet here is the story of the good samaritan it is one of my favorite of Christ's parables and sadly it is one that alot of Christians ignore.
Luke 10:30-37New Living Translation (NLT)
Parable of the Good Samaritan
30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and left him half dead beside the road.
31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on the other side.
33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’
36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked.
37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.”
Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”
