If the endtime is near what can I do to repent ?

I have sinned all of my life and have only lately realized that something needs to be done because we may be running out of time. I have been reading the bible every night and staying up late to finish the various chapters. I need to read the whole thing in order to be saved. Anything else that I can do to hurry this up. I realize that I could be gone tomorrow and I want to be in the first group headed to heaven.

    The only way to Heaven, is Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore you must become a Christian. By praying to Christ and asking for forgiveness of known and unknown Sins. Asking Him to take control of your life. And lead you into the paths of Righteousness.

    You may also want to join a Church? A nondenominational one is the best choice. Because it is free of politics and full of loving and caring people to help you along your way. Do these things and talk to your new pastor about more. And your on your way.

    God Bless Ya,

    Repent from your sins, or Turn away from your sins. So it means, you have to turn away from all your sins and ask God to forgive you. But first, you have to forgive the people who hurt you so God will forgive you too. Well, you don't have to read the whole thing in order to be saved. What matters is that you are clean in the eyes of god, you are doing your best to please God. What matters is that you are trying to live all the words that you have read in the bible. And always repent. Everytime you make sin, ask god for repentance. Don't let your sins stay very long because you will sin even more.

    I would suggest praying openly and honestly to God for forgiveness. Also, I don't know if you're Catholic or not, but going to Confession, or confessing your sins to a priest, is always a good option, even if you're non-Catholic, but make sure to tell the priest you're not Catholic. Lastly, I would suggest visiting thewarningsecondcoming.com. There are some tips in the messages on there that suggest ways to repent.

    I hope this helps, and I wish you all the best...

    Hello! I would first like to say that it's wonderful that you have found a want and need to change. It takes real faith to do that.

    We have all sinned and there is nothing we can do to change that, unfortunately. However, God sent his only, perfect son to die for all of us. He loves us so much that he created this world for us to live in and to take care of. He has set apart a heavenly home with him so that should we choose to believe in him on this earth, we can come live with him one day. God gave us the gift of salvation from Hell so that we could be with him. It's very simple and the only thing you need to do, is A) admit that you have sinned. (Romans 3:23 : for all have sinned...) B) Believe in Christ. and C) Confess. Talk to him. He can hear you and He absolutely loves listening to you.

    Once you simply ask him to save you, and you truly mean it, There is nothing you can do to mess that up. We can't do anything to make God love us more or less.

    I hope this helps!! :)

    You don't have to read the whole Bible to be saved. All you have to do is to BELIEVE that Jesus died for your sins and that He rose again and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father. He loves you-just look to Him and believe! Satan does not want you to believe, but Satan is a liar!

    You can start it by telling everyone that the rapture would be 29 Weeks from now. December 20, 2012, to be exact. The next day would be the day of Tribulations as mentioned by Jesus in the Gospels. You could never be a closet Christian if you stay out of yourself and start preaching of the days to come, the wrath of the sun.

    You NEED to REPENT, BELIEVE in the lord Jesus, be BORN AGAIN, and DO God's will.

    Seek fellowship; just reading the bible won't save you. Jesus will.

    just because you finish the entire Bible doesnt mean your going to Heaven.

    “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

    “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). We cannot save ourselves. “For by grace are you saved, through faith, and this not of yourselves – it is the gift of God. Not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:8-9). We deserve death and hell. “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).

    “To all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). You can receive eternal life as a FREE gift. “The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”

    If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and receive forgiveness from God, here is prayer you can pray. Saying this prayer or any other prayer will not save you. It is only trusting in Jesus Christ that can provide forgiveness of sins. This prayer is simply a way to express to God your faith in Him and thank Him for providing for your forgiveness. "God, I know that I have sinned against You and am deserving of punishment. But Jesus Christ took the punishment that I deserve so that through faith in Him I could be forgiven. I place my trust in You for salvation. Thank You for Your wonderful grace and forgiveness! Amen!"
