Let me show you what the Bible, God's actual words, has to say about these questions:
Are you a sinner? Romans 3:22-24 says, "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
Did Jesus die on the cross for us? Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Do you believe there is only One, True God? Isiaiah 48:6 says,"Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me."
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
- John 16:33
Psalm 74:12
For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
2 Corinthians 6:2 2For he says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation."
If you are sick of doing it on your own, have tried to fill that hole in yourself with what the world has to offer, then tell Jesus about it. Tell Him about how you need Him to make it better and how you need Him to fill you up. Tell Him about how you believe He died and rose again to save you from Hell and how you want to be with Him when you die.
And then tell somebody about what you prayed. How things are going to be different. How you're that new creation as in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" You can tell me.. I promise you I'd be more than happy to hear about what you and God talked about.
Romans 10:9-13 says "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved"
The One who fills, completes, restores, and heals is standing at our heart, knocking. Will you let Him in?
