WBC –
Hi, I came across your site recently, I’ve been agnostic most of my life now, but recently began investigating revelations and prophecy, I believe things are lining up with the end of our time. It is a frightening time to think Obama now has the keys to the strongest nation on the planet and hardly anyone knows anything about this person. I, myself have not lived a very holy life. There’s a long list of things that are plaguing me, but to keep this short, what is the best way to beg for forgiveness from our God? It is easy to ask for forgiveness, but living a healthy, holy life is much harder to do…
Thanks,
Brian
Brian-
Any sincere soul that fears and loves the Lord will look unto His Word for that answer:
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
To believe takes with it the notion that you submit wholly unto His Word and obey.
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
To call on the name of the Lord, means to confess Christ the son of God and Sovereign, submit to the whole counsel of God and worship Him in spirit and in truth as a matter of course in your life.
Keep in mind Brian, there is NO forgiveness from God without repentance. And you can’t truly repent of something that you continue to engage in or are proud of.
In short, find out what the Lord requires of you and do that. That is your only hope and a joyous life’s work. The Lord’s blessings upon the penitent sinner are gold. I’d urge you to seek that. Come with us, the way is good!
Thanks for writing!
