I've been getting off track, I have been neglecting God, viewing inappropriate content, and neglecting all other things. How do I start off a relationship with God again, how do I ask for forgiveness, and what do I do? Sorry if this is vague, I can't really think of anything else to say at the moment.
hello! please do not worry about being vague, i completely understand and your message was clear. it is me who should apologize because this reply comes so so so late! i hope you are still on the site. i just joined today.
our generation is a very lost one. i was once immersed in the pursuit of stimulation, instant gratification and sexual immorality. but Jesus has
already paid the price for these sins with his once-for-all death on the cross. he has already accounted for them, if you will accept his sacrifice on your behalf.
1. first, you must recognize your sin, see it for what it truly is. the Scripture and Jesus' convicting words often illuminate where we've fallen short and glorified perversion instead of our Creator.
2. mourn your sins and how they have stolen your joy and contentment in the Lord. "blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall be comforted."
3. forsake your sins and place your trust in Christ, that He will pay the debt. know that you cannot please God to make amends, but luckily Jesus, who was righteous when you could never be, has paid the price. have confidence that on the Last Day, He will stand in your place.
4. this confidence and recognition leads to a renewed life.
