Christians How do I find God?
Serious question, I know there are a lot of christians on these forums, no one around me is very religous, so I can't really ask anyone I know and don't feel comfortable talking about religion with other people, but I want to get closer to god, but don't know how.
I have tried reading the Bible, but I don't know if I am getting anything from it.
I have tried going to church, but feel awkward, and somehow get the idea I don't fit in.

I have to admit I have never been a religous person.
In fact up until recently if you had asked me I wouldn't have said god didn't exist.
Something is compelling me to get closer to god, I don't know what and I don't know how I was wondering if any of the christians on here had any ideas, cause maybe I'm doing something wrong.


I must also say, I haven't had a sin free life either, in fact bar thou shalt not kill, I think I have broken just about every single commandment, so I'll never make saint hood.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Christians How do I find God?
I saw a really simple prayer but I can't find it.
[link to www.wikihow.com]
Basically you pray to Jesus and tell him your sorry for thing's you've done wrong in the past. You thank him for taking your punishment and accept his "gift of salvation". Um there is another part "go and sin no more" means to not purposefully do wrong things.

Edit: found this [link to www.allaboutgod.com]
Also be baptized, is what the bible says to do after you pray this:
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”

(I was raised in a born-again household..)

Re: Christians How do I find God?
Study the covenant made with Noah and his family, then the covenant made with Issac, then the covenant made with Jaccob and finally the covenant made with mankind through water baptism.... In John....


Dont go to any church, you can do it yourself... study what the baptism does and means... if you can, get a 1611 bible.. stay away from the niv bible....

make the covenant in water for the remission of sins... and keep studying... you will be blown away with what happens to you when you make the covenant with God..

Re: Christians How do I find God?
1st step: Don't ask a Christian. If they knew, they would not be in the predicament they are in.

2nd Step: Realize that the very spirit that makes you alive IS God. Let that fully sink in. Contemplate it. Embrace it.

3rd step: Realize that that same spirit is in all others whether they realize it or not.



Now knowing this, how have you been treating God?






Forgive yourself for your errors in your ignorance.

Repent by not doing those mistakes again.

Watch your life change in wonderfully dramatic ways.

Re: Christians How do I find God?
Want good for everyone and be a good person and the rest will come to you.

Someone said something to this affect:

Id rather live my life believing there was a god to find out there wasnt than to live to live my life believing there wasn no god to find out there was.

Go with the flow. Be good. Feel good. Do good. But not in a spa way. Be yourself and be nice. Thats all you can do.

I have been praying lately, but again not sure if I am doing it right.

Re: Christians How do I find God?
The ONLY way to the Father is through the Son, Yeshua......his name is not Jesus, that's a pagan name & yet another of satan's deceptions to get you to worship the wrong God.

Don't listen to that new age garb, it's another trick.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
