Q&A for How to Have Faith in Jesus

Try talking to Jesus every day through prayer. Additionally, study and follow Christ's teachings in the Bible.

Baptism symbolizes the death of your old life and your rebirth into a new life with God. It's a symbolic way to show you're committing to your faith.

Invest some of your time and resources into knowing God better. Create a margin in your day to invest in reading and memorizing Scripture, meditation, prayer, or journaling. Know that a Christian should “pray without ceasing.” Begin your day with focused prayer and take breaks throughout the day to speak directly to God in prayer.

Your faith can shape your values, affect how you view the world, and give you a sense of belonging if you’re part of a community of people who share your faith. Many people find strength and comfort in their faith, or use it to help them find answers to difficult personal questions.

For many people, faith is a huge part of their identity. However, there are many things that make up a person’s identity, and faith is just one of them. You can also be defined by things like your personality, your values (aside from those specific to your faith), your cultural background, and your interests.

Faith can mean different things to different people. However, in a religious context, it basically means putting your trust in a higher power.

Sometimes it's hard to know for sure. You search the Scripture, see what God's word has to say about the matter (if anything directly). You ask God for what you think is in His will, always with the caveat that "not my will, but Yours be done." Then you wait and watch to see what He does.

We are all sinners. If you pray with an honest, open heart, god will accept your prayers.

You might notice yourself having a reoccurring dream or your mind returning to the same thoughts over and over again, this is often because God is trying to tell you something.

It is impossible for humans to avoid sinning, but that doesn't mean that you can't overcome your sins. To do this, you must first recognize and admit that you have sinned. Ask God for forgiveness, and work on yourself so that you do not keep repeating your sins.

Who is saying this to you? It's no one else's business how much faith you do or do not have. You don't have to prove anything to anyone - that is between you and God. Anyone who would judge you or say something negative about your faith is not following the teachings of Jesus. Ignore them.

It can be very hard sometimes but do not get discouraged. He is always there for you. Just pray every day or as often as you need to. He is always listening. Pray for the strength to endure your troubles.

You should just ask God to help you find a way to attend if that's where you're meant to go. If you aren't able to find a way to pay for the tuition, then maybe that's God's way of telling you that He has another path for you.

When the Bible says we were created in the image of God, it means we were created to be like him in spirit, not that we are all meant to look exactly alike.

Psalms 94:14. "For the Lord will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance."

Close your eyes, fold your hands, take a deep breath, and tell Jesus your wish with all your heart.

The verse you are looking for is Romans chapter 10 verse 17.

As long as Christianity has existed, scholars and believers have debated that very question. Some have argued that faith by definition must be given blindly. In other words, the presence of suffering tests your faith, and it is up to you to keep your faith despite the tests. Others have responded by giving up their faith. Talk to your friends and elders about this problem. You may find that others have asked themselves the same question, and their answers may help you.

Remember that just because you doubt, you shouldn't give up. Pray to overcome your doubt, read scriptures, listen to spiritual music, like hymns. Study more about whatever you are doubting and pray for more knowledge about it until you understand it. If you attend church, as your priest or pastor for advice. As long as you are seeking Christ, He will be there for you.

Of course he is. That is why he is also called the "uncreated creator," because he created everything, including the universe.

You don't have to worry about the devil as Jesus will fight him in the last battle with the beast. We are always attacked by the devil because we are doing God's will. The more we fear and sin, the more the devil wins. Try to fight your demons and fail the devil. God will strengthen you and reward you for it.

Remember, if you confess your sins to God and are saved (1 John 1:9), you are forgiven! Your sins are gone! You need to let God take your sins away. Take the heavy burden off your shoulders. His yoke is light.

Forgiveness is for God to decide. As humans, you are not expected to "be okay" with the murder of your brother. The event has already destroyed your brother's life, don't let it destroy your own. All you can ask is for the strength not to hate the person who did it and for the strength to move forward.

Remember, nobody is perfect. We all have our ups and downs. Just apply yourself and stay focused, and things should right themselves.

You can't find faith in a book, on television, or in a church. Real faith comes from closing your eyes, and just feeling. Think about who you are, where you came from, where you belong, and who you belong with. Asking yourself these questions is the beginning of faith.

All of the Gospel is about remission of your sins. It would not be hard to find a verse.

Know that it is not humanly possible to understand everything about God, and focus on the things you can understand about God: His love for you, His will as revealed in scripture regarding how you are to live your life, for starters. Plug into a community of faith, if you aren't connected to one already, as prayer and fellowship are crucial for strengthening you in your faith.

He may not give them back to you, but you can pray and ask him to. Just know that whatever he does is in your best interest. If you genuinely repent, and try your best to remain free of sin going forward, you will be forgiven.

The best thing you can do is sincerely pray to God. Tell him the problem (sin) you are dealing with, and open your heart. Pray for His help and guidance in your life. Another thing you can try to do is stay away from that sin in ALL aspects of your life. For example, if you curse a lot, don’t listen to music with a lot of cursing or be around people who curse too much. That can help a lot.

Don't persuade them. Lead a good Christian life and thereby set a good example. They will notice your inner peace, faith and fulfillment and ask themselves, "Can I have that inner bliss, too?" When they approach you, be supportive and lead them to God.
