I need some 回答 on how I feel.

Well... for me, yes, prayer definitely is crucial for a strong relationship. 読書 the Bible and really learning もっと見る about Him will also help heaps. I think just being a good person, like helping others as much as あなた can, and trying to avoid sinning as much as possible and truly, truly loving God is what He wants あなた to do. Going to Church もっと見る and getting involved should also help.

Sorry, I'm not too good at explaining this. Sorry if I didn't make sense.

I'm 17 and became born again about a 年 and a half ago. I thought I was a Christian before but I wasn't really because I didn't have a relationship with God. To have a good relationship with him あなた have to read His word, the bible. And pray, talk to him like your talking to your best friend. It really helped me grow closer to Him によって surounding myself with fellow brothers and sisters of Christ and going to church and youth group to learn about him.
The best アドバイス I can give あなた is to get to know him によって 読書 your bible and pray that he will help あなた grow closer to him.

What あなた 発言しました CAN help, but really, a relationship with God is not that complicated. If あなた feel close to God, and あなた feel like あなた have a good relationship, I'm sure God feels the same. The best thing あなた can do is pray about it. Im sure the answer will come to you. または even ask your religious teacher. As long as あなた WANT a relationship with God, あなた will get it. "Seek, and ye shall find. Ask, and ye shall recieve. Knock, and the door will be opened to you."

-Read His Word so that あなた may know His Will
-Pray for guidance
-Learn to listen
-Fellowship with other Christians

Another thing that a lot of people get confused about is the 'works and deeds' bit. As Christians we know that no amount of good works will get us into Heaven. However many times Christians give the all too simple statement "faith alone will save you."

A few weeks 前 my pastor gave a sermon on different types of faith. He 発言しました there is:
-Living faith
-Dead faith
-Demonic faith

Living faith is when we believe in ジーザス and accept him as our Lord. There are some versions that say accept Him as our Savior. That's not really it. ジーザス is your Savior, pure and simple. It's your choice whether または not to accept his rule over your life. Accepting Him as your Lord means obeying his commands and doing His work, that is what gets あなた to Heaven.

Dead faith is where non-believers are. They do not believe in God または Jesus. Their faith is 'dead'.

Then there is Demonic faith. This is the belief that God exists but still making the choice to continue on with sin and not to follow Him. It's the type of faith demons have. They know the power of God, but they still choose wrong. Their 'belief' in God is not getting them to Heaven.

It's like ジーザス says in Luke 6:46-49:
“Why do あなた call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will 表示する あなた what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”

または in Matthew 7:21-23 about False Disciples:
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, あなた evildoers!’

The deeds themselves will not earn our passage into Heaven, but with ジーザス as our Lord, God as our Father, we should follow His Will.
