So, I was hanging out at my mom's house and of course the topic of God came up. It surprised me to hear about how many of her friends believe in God, but do not know the actual gospel of Christ. The world's definition of believers in Christ is religious. I am not religious at all. I have a personal relationship with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Going to church every Sunday will not get you into the kingdom of God. Giving to charity, and doing good deeds will not get you into the kingdom of God. All of my Bible studies will not get you into the kingdom of God. Buying and reading my books will not get you into the kingdom of God. The only way into the kingdom of God is through the Lord Jesus Christ. There are no other ways into the kingdom of God.
John 14:6 " Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me."
John 3:16-18 [16] “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. [18] The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God."
John 6:47 "Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life. "
John 6:40 " For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”
The penalty for sin or breaking God's law is death. The world is cursed by God for breaking His laws. There is no statute of limitations on the penalty of breaking God's law. Something you did when you were ten that was sinful is still counted against you. Good deeds and charity do not cancel out bad deeds or sin. The only thing that cancels out the penalty for sin is Christ's sacrifice for us. Instead of having us die for our sins, Christ died in our place taking the sins of the entire world upon Him so that we might live.
John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."
So what is necessary? Humble yourself before God. Pray to Jesus. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and need His forgiveness. If you believe then pray the following:
"O Jesus, please forgive me my sins. I do repent, please help me to repent. I believe that You are the only Son of God, that you were born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, that You were crucified, died on the cross, was buried and on the third day rose from the dead. Thank You for saving me. Please come into my life and be my Lord. Amen."
Now, get yourself a copy of the Bible. I would recommend either the New American Standard version or the New King James Version because they are quite literal in their translation. I personally use the New American Standard version because it is what I was raised on and is very comfortable for me. Find a Bible based church. Pray and ask God to put you where you belong or where He wants you to be. Get baptised! It is important!
A quick side note, the Mormon church is not of God, don't go there. Here is a copy of my first book, "Thus Says the Lord God - A Bible Study guide" as a .pdf for free to get started.
If you want a print version, you can buy the paperback off Amazon. I personally would recommend starting with either the Gospel of Matthew or the Gospel of John for your initial reading.

Until next time, keep Christ first, and may God bless you.
