Can I be Forgiven and Saved?
You must cry out to Jesus with your whole heart. It is not necessary to audibly speak out loud but speaking from your heart within your mind, your inner voice which you use to talk to yourself is sufficient. Jesus is God and is all knowing, meaning he knows your thoughts and what is in your heart before you even say it. Cry out to Jesus and admit to him you have sinned, done bad things, made poor choices, are sorry for it and would like to change to do his will. Ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins and bad behavior. Tell Jesus you want to be born again from above in heaven, sending his Holy Spirit to live inside you and guide you in all things. Find another born again believer to baptize you in fresh living water, not salty, in the Name of the Father, Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. God gives special accommodations or exclusions for those unable to be baptized for true legitimate reasons. Any free and able bodied person who believes in Jesus Christ must be baptized to complete the transformation into a new man or woman. Confess with your mouth to other people or persons that you have been born again from above and saved by Jesus Christ. You must find the courage to tell others about Jesus Christ and not be ashamed or embarrassed. Take communion, eating bread as the Lord’s body and drinking grape juice as the Lord’s blood which was shed for your sins to be forgiven for all time. Fulfill Jesus commandments the best you can to love the Lord God with all your heart soul and mind. Also love your neighbor as yourself.
You Must Be Born Again from Above
“Born
again” is a Christian term for the Holy Spirit of God coming down from heaven
to live inside you and creating a new man or woman. A person cannot ever enter
into heaven unless they are “born again from above.”
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:4 Nicodemus said to Him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb and be born?
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born above G509.
The Greek word anothen is literally translated as “above” but “again” is implied by being born the second time from heaven but by Spirit.
G509 ἄνωθεν anōthen
From G507; from above; by analogy from the first; by implication anew: - from above, again, from the beginning (very first), the top.
Jerusalem above is the name for heaven
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Rev 3:12 Him who overcomes I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will go out no more. And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My new name.
Rev 21:2 And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her Husband.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God,

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
Joh 3:18 He who believes on Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
1Pe 1:21 those believing in God through Him, He who raised Him up from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.
1Pe 1:22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,
1Pe 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living Word of God, and abiding forever.
2Co 5:17 So that if any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
All Who Die in Christ Shall be Resurrected into Life Everlasting
Joh 5:28 Do not marvel at this, for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves shall hear His voice,
One can only do good by being born again from above in Jesus Christ.
Joh 5:29 and shall come forth, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced evil to the resurrection of condemnation.
Pray in Jesus Name For Forgiveness
Only through Jesus name can you be saved from hell and the lake of fire.

Rom 10:9 Because if you confess the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.
“Saved” is another term used by Christians which describes their relationship with Jesus Christ which eludes to being saved from the lake of fire where the wicked are sent for eternity at the judgment of God.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
Rom 10:13 For everyone, "whoever shall call on the name of the Lord will be saved."
The Sinners Prayer condensed from Psalm 51. Transgressions and iniquities are similar to sins which are evil, wrongs, offenses and bad things you have done.
Have mercy on me Jesus according to Your loving-kindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.
Wash me completely from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I confess my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done evil in Your sight;
Purge me and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O Jesus, and renew a right spirit within me.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
