You know it just dawned on me that a lot of people come into this forum who are seekers and of course cannot post here. I am sure that you have found the discussions very interesting.
But there is something much more important that we need to talk about with you. Do you know Jesus? Is he your Lord and your savior? All these discussions will mean nothing if he is not.
My guess is that you are lost and hurt and that you want God but simply do not know how to find him or what to do to be saved. I want you to read the following. And if you need someone to talk to pm me or hey if you don't like me then just about anyone here. I promise they will talk to you about Jesus and what he means to them, and most importantly what he means to you.
Blessings

Unless a man is Born Again he cannot see the Kingdom of God John3:3 If you are not saved by becoming a follower of Jesus you will never get to heaven.
If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:15
Doesn't spending eternity in heaven with out want and basked in the love and grace of the Lord sound like a much better deal? Of course it does! Best of all your salvation is a free gift paid for in full by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Don't be fooled there is only one way to get to heaven that is through Jesus. You may try to decieve yourself thinking that you are somehow very good and very rightous but you are wrong! The bible tells us that there is not one among us that is good enough on our own to be worthy of the kingdom of heaven.
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags. Isaiah 64:6
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23
You may be wondering:
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out. Acts 3:19
Becoming a follower of Jesus
To become a follower of Jesus, you must turn away from the way you have been going. You must admit, "...you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world..." Ephesians 2:1-2
This turning from your old way also means turning toward God to follow and serve Jesus who said: "The man who loves his life will loose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me" John 12:25-26
Here is what you must do to become a follower of Jesus
Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again so I can have new life. I want to turn from my sin, I want to serve and follow you. Help me now to love you with all my heart and soul and mind. Amen.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8

Well nothing could be easier you see Jesus really does love YOU! He desires to give you a joyful life here on earth, and wants you to join him in heaven. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Acts 16:31 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out. Acts 3:19

Here is what you must do to become a follower of Jesus
- Admit to God that you are captive to sin and have not followed his path for right living.
- Believe that the creator of the world loves you and sent his son, Jesus to take the penelty for your sin.
- Confess, "'Jesus is Lord.' Believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. Then you will be saved." Romans 10:9
Jesus, I believe you died for my sins and rose again so I can have new life. I want to turn from my sin, I want to serve and follow you. Help me now to love you with all my heart and soul and mind. Amen.

The Creator wants you to have the fullest life possible. Here are some important steps for you to take on this new path as a follower of Jesus:
- Read Gods word every day.
The Bible is the food which provides spiritual nourishment for our daily walk with Jesus. There is enough here for a lifetime of learning and growing. - Pray and talk to God regularly.
Prayer is your lifeline to God. Remember you are not alone with the burdens and problems you may have. Pour your heart out to God. He delights in listening to you. The Creator can do far more than we could ever ask or imagine. - Share and tell others about Jesus.
You are a messenger for Jesus wherever you go. Jesus came to bring life to people everywhere. You can help them learn how to find hope in Jesus. - Meet with other followers of Jesus for prayer, Bible study and worship.
Find a gathering of Jesus followers near you and join them. God did not intend for us to be alone in our walk with him.
