I totally agree with all the above posts. God searches the heart, and He sees those who truly seek Him. He says "Seek me with all your heart, mind and soul, while I may still be found, and I WILL be found by you". Jer 29 12-14 (I shortened it for you, but it's there)

He knows the motives of our heart, we cannot hide anything from Him. If you want to become a Christian because your GF is one, it will never work. You need to become a Born Again Christian because you realise that you are a sinner and you need Jesus to save you. The most amazing thing is that He died on that cross for you, even while you were/are a sinner. And nothing will make you come to Him unless you come to that realisation that you NEED Him and His gift of salvation.

And that moment that you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you and your girlfriend will have the most beautiful relationship, because God will be first and you will be able to worship Him together.

And you will be in the perfect position to pray and intercede for your friends.

I pray that you will make this very decision.

You can bring them to Christ.
I've brought quite a few of my friends and family to Christ. :) You can set the example for them, and they will see the love of God shining through you and become drawn to the faith.

Fallen, are you then saying that you are choosing your friends and family over the Most High God?

Here are two very important scriptures, and I pray that they will speak to your heart.

Mark 8:34 & 35. "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life, will loose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it".

Also Matt 19:29 "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for My sake will receive a hundred time as much and will inherit eternal life." NB this one ;)

And I pray Father, that you would count Fallen worthy of Your calling and fullfil all the good pleasure of Your goodness and the work of faith with power, that the name of Jesus Christ may be glorified in Fallen and Him in Fallen, according to the grace of You Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Your love for your friends is wonderful.
But it is totally and utterly dwarfed by God's love for them!!
You say you would die for them - the good news is that you don't need to - He already has!
Why do you think it's only you God wants to save?
He loves every one of us with an all-consuming love. It breaks His heart to see any reject Him.
Sort out your own relationship with Him, then pray for them. He does answer, you know!

Praying for you (and your friends)!

I dont know why but there no way i could abandon my friends. either they all go or i stay i think.

If your friends or loved ones are in hell today, they do not want you there. It is not a sign of loyalty to go to hell because others have. You will not have a reconciliation with these friends there. You will face your damnation alone.

The Rich Man pleaded for someone to go tell his brothers so that they would not share his same fate. Do not damn yourself for others. Let God redeem you so that you may bring others to Him.

Would you want your friends to reject God and go to hell for you?
