dear john,

what bibleprobe said to you is the truth. i just want to add a little thing. yes if we repent and ask Jesus to come into our lives, we are saved. the only thing i want to say is this. we were born with a sin nature. the only one that can take ALL of our sins away is Jesus. but we all fall short of the righteousness of our Father.

i'm not very good with words, so please be patient with me while i try to put on paper whats in my mind and heart. what i mean is that we cannot become righteous enough on our own to be good enough for God. but because of Jesus' sacrifice, we are righteous in His eyes. but because we have a sin nature, it is impossible for us to remain sin free on our own accord.

Jesus was ask how often are we supposed to pray? and He said to PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. keeping close to God, because we have the gift of the Holy Spirit, we must pray and forgive those that hurt us, so that God will forgive us of our sins. and the only way that we can learn what is sin and what isn't is to be in the word daily. thats the only way to learn! we must come to the Lord with a clean heart and the only way we can is to pray without ceasing. God Bless you john
