Christianity?
I am a Presbyterian and I have done some pretty horrible things lately.
I want to be a better Christian, but I feel like all the things I will not be forgiven in the eyes of God.
What should I do?
Repent Catholic by confession, but what Presbyterians do?
Say a prayer to God and ask forgiveness. It seems that you know you've done wrong, so obviously you're sincere. He will forgive you. So simple, and help you feel better about it.
To pray to God and ask forgiveness and try not to commit the sin again. Because they are humans who can commit some sins, but once more we can ask God for the strength to avoid them.
Something we do Catholics after the confession is what we call "The act of contrition." See if there is a store of the Catholic religion in your city or on the Internet, anyone can say their prayers. In addition, sometimes the priest may be asked to do something to atone for our sins and pray we can ask for a # of times. For example, I know somebody who stole a series of plates and was asked to donate the value of the plates to soup kitchens, non-profit or another that helped the poor.
Presbyterians do not know what to do, but what I am trying to do is:
Admit that what I did was wrong.
I sincerely regret.
Do what amends / restitution can at least contact with the injured party would do more harm than good.
Abandoning the habit (I may say what I want), you're not doing it again.
Pray for the strength to change my life and stay repented of that sin.
It's worth a shot. Remember, though occasionally fall from grace, while we are doing our best day of grace is never happened to us. God does not abandon us as long as they do not give up on him because he loves us all very much.
Good luck, go ahead, and God bless.
We all have the same God. Repent. To repent means to take it again, I wish you were not. God sees the heart, you want to know these things were not. Tell him so. Saying, Lord, I repent of the things I've done to offend you. I promise, He hears you.
As a non-denominational Christian, I seek forgiveness from God. I admit my actions and I ask Him to forgive and the Bible says that those who seek forgiveness is found. Also try not to repeat my mistakes or bad deeds.
God is a loving God and Jesus died to cover our sins, so that all can be forgiven. You must forgive yourself and never regret it or get rid of it.
Psalm 32:5 - Then I acknowledged my sin to you
And not hide my iniquity.
I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the Lord "–
And forgave him
The guilt of my sin.
1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
God restores us when we ask for your forgiveness. You do not have to do anything to earn his forgiveness. Only to ask. That is the point of Jesus coming to die for our sins. You can not win something that God gives us as a gift. Ask God to give strength to live a life for him. It is not the fault of God. This is a game the enemy uses against us. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. Living in the freedom of God.

1John 1:6 If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

1John 1:8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Jn 2:3 By this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep His commandments.
1John 2:4 He who says: "I know him" but does not keep His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him,
1John 2:9 He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in the dark.
1John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1John 2:16 For everything in the world - the lust of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions - is not of the Father, but in the world.
God moves to save people
Eze 36:25 I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean of all its uncleannesses, and all your idols I will cleanse it.
Eze 36:26 And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
Eze 36:27 And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
Eze 36:28 You will live in the land which I gave to your fathers, and that will be my people, and I will be your God.
God bless
AAAHHHH ….. …. you're a Presbyterian but you do not know what "Presbyterians" do? Why do I have trouble believing that?
this is how
Ask him how Jesus in your life
The choice to present his life to God is the most significant decision you can ever do.
This choice involves more than simple intellectual agreement that Jesus is God and that He died on the cross to pay the penalty for their sins.
Becoming a Christian also requires that you commit the rest of his life to God, to do what He asks of you and live in accordance with its principles. This decision is not something to be taken lightly. It requires sacrifice and a total reorientation of your life around God rather than yourself. As Jesus said:
"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me" (Luke 9:23).
If you feel you are ready to make this commitment, you can do right now by telling God you are sorry for their past mistakes, putting your trust in Him and ask that you make the person He created you to be. This step involves faith. Is likely to still have some unanswered questions at this time, but you must be willing to make the decision based on what we now know and trust God to fill in the details below.
Exact words he used to commit yourself to God are not important. He knows the intentions of your heart. Your prayer can be as simple as "Help!" Or you can focus on a subject that is specific to your situation. If you are unsure of what to pray, use the following sample prayer to get started:
Jesus, I know. I want you to come into my life. Sorry for the things I've done that have broken my relationship with God. Thank you for dying on the cross so that this relationship could be right. I think you're the only one who can do this. You can only give me the power to change and become the person you created me to be. Thank you for forgiving my past mistakes and giving me eternal life with God. I give my life to you. Please do with it as you wish. Amen.
or
Lord Jesus, I know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person you want to be.
Praying for a prayer or a similar over, that they have just taken a giant step toward making God the center of his life. But these are just words. What follows is a journey of lifelong change and growth as get to know God better through Bible reading, prayer and interaction with other Christians.
If you prayed the above prayer and invited Jesus into your life, you become a Christian - which means simply "one in Christ."
stop slutting around so much.
