Guys I need prayer for me to get saved I know how and it's hard for me because Im scared and nervous about it

Hi again Gideon.

I would like to expound a little more on your statement saying, "you know how to get saved and it's hard for you because you're scared and nervous about it"

Here's why I asked you for clarity on that statement..

There's some hold to a legalistic viewpoint when coming to God for salvation.

In the Old testament Israel was given the Law and commandments the showed them and the world "Including us" we all have a fallen nature and is need of a savior.

As did the Israelites in the old testament they feared approaching God under that ministry of condemnation.

However, to them and us God provided a savior, our Lord Jesus Christ!

There is no need to fear, we have found mercy in Christ.

Ephesians 2:4-9.

We can now approach the throne of grace and there is no need of fear!

Hebrews 10:19-23 states, "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

And having an high priest over the house of God;

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Romans 10:9 states "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

We confess that are a sinner, turn our hearts to God for his grace and mercy and he is faithful to forgive us.

"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out"

John 6:37.

God bless you Gideon.

Dear Gideon,

I will be praying for you today. God is loving, faithful, and trustworthy, so know that the Father is drawing you to Jesus this very

moment. The Holy Spirit is preparing your heart and soul and mind to come to faith in Jesus. How wonderful it is that our great

God does all this even before we are saved so that His will for us comes to pass.

You can come to Jesus for salvation even though you feel nervous, apprehensive, or afraid. We are all sinners before God and

deserve to be judged as disobedient creatures before a holy God. Yet those who come to salvation in Jesus are no longer under

condemnation for our own sins. We are forgiven and set free from being enslaved by our sinfulness and come to know our Lord

as one who loved us so much that He gave His life as a sacrifice for our sin so that we can have this forgiveness and freedom in

Him.

I advise you to pray to God and tell Him all your current feelings and ask for faith to believe that truth concerning the salvation

that in Jesus only. God saves us through Jesus. Come to Him today with a repentant and contrite heart. He will give you peace

and release from the oppression of sin and the deceit that comes from the devil who wishes that we will not believe.



Thankfully, our God is unfathomably more powerful than the devil or sin or ourselves or any other person or power!

Please keep me up to date on your journey so I can know how to pray for you more specifically.

Hi Gideon.

I agree with Jaz.

"faith is built on a sure foundation , not on fear and uncertainty"

May I ask, What did you mean when you said "you know how and it's hard for you because you are scared and nervous about it?

Revealing this bit of information can be vital to helping you in this area.

Thanks and God bless.

If you are scared and nervous then you may not be ready . Have you read the Bible ? Do you know what is expected of you ? Do you know who the Holy One of Israel is ? Do you know who Jesus Christ is ? This is a very serious matter and your faith must be built on a sure foundation , not on fear and uncertainty . Be sure you know what you are getting into , read the Bible , speak to your God in prayer through Christ . Be strong in the Lord !
