After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep.
Romans 5:8-10 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!

Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.
Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
2 Corinthians 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Matthew 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, `Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Galatians 5:16-25 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever
lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
John 12:23-26 Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be
glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground
and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many
seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his
life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow
me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who
serves me."
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ
lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.

deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And

sheep and my sheep know me / just as the Father knows me and I know the
Father–and I lay down my life for the sheep. / My sheep listen to my voice; I
know them, and they follow me.
2 Cor 6:2b I tell you, now is the time of
God's favor, now is the day of salvation.
Rev 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door
and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat
with him, and he with me.
Acts 16:30-31 He then brought them out and
asked, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" They replied,
"Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your
household."
Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been
justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be
troubled and do not be afraid.

your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which

“Dear Jesus, thank you for taking
the punishment for my sins. I confess that you are Lord and that I’m a sinner. I know
that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly
sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please
forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that you are the
Son of God and that you died on the cross and came back to life in order to
save me. I invite you to come into my heart, to become
the Lord of my life. I repent from sin and ask that you forgive and
cleanse me. I'm sorry for the things I’ve done wrong in my life. My desire
right now is to surrender my life to you and become born again. I want you to rule
and reign in my heart from this day forward. and to do Your will for the rest
of my life. Help me to love, follow, and have faith in you and grow
strong in your teachings and wisdom. Help me to have a relationship with you
Lord through prayer. Show me how to put you first in my life and to obey you. In Jesus'
name I pray, Amen.”
Jesus thought baptism was important. He was baptized "for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness" (Matthew 3:15) He also told his new leaders of the church to "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations," and "baptizing them" (Matthew 28:19) When Peter preached the first sermon, people wanted to know how to become Christian. He told them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins;” (Acts 2:38). And every person in the book of Acts that become a Christian was baptized. (Acts 8:12, 8:36 - 38, 9:18, 10:47 - 48, 16:29 - 33….) Please search out a Bible based church tell them you have prayed the sinner’s prayer, and ask them to baptize you in Jesus name.
