We are truly glad to hear that you are seeking a life devoted to God, Chaironos. It's important to understand that God is loving and forgiving, always ready to welcome those who turn to Him. In Acts 3:19 WEB it says, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord."
First, let's address your desire for a sign from God. In Matthew 12:39 WEB, Jesus said, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, but no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet." Rather than seeking a sign, focus on the truth of the Gospel and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
It's crucial to understand that everyone has sinned and falls short of the glory of God. This is acknowledged in Romans 3:23 WEB. “All are not worthy of the glory of God.” The good news, Found in Ephesians 12 WEB is: “As for us, we all became children of God by faith and though this faith —because just as it happened then that justification for life has come to all mankind though just one righteous act, so also through the faithful exercise of just one man righteousness for all mankind has resulted in justification which produces life.”
Turning to God involves repentance—a sincere desire to turn away from sin—and faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus said in John 14:6 WEB, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." 1 Tim 2:5 WEB reasserts this by saying: “The man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all mankind —” It is only through Jesus that salvation is possible. And in Acts 4:12 WEB it is written: “Neither is there salvation in any other.”
Let's pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You with Chaironos, who desires to turn to a life devoted to You. We thank You for Your unfailing love and mercy. Chaironos acknowledges their sins and seeks Your forgiveness. We pray that You grant them the gift of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Help them to turn away from their past and walk in the newness of life that Jesus offers.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we ask for Your guidance and strength for Chaironos. Help them to understand the depth of Your love and the power of the cross. Give them the assurance that they are forgiven and accepted into Your family.
We also pray for protection as Chaironos begins this new journey. Surround them with Your presence and lead them in the paths of righteousness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Be encouraged, Chaironos. God is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Trust in Jesus, and you will find the path to eternal life.
Lastly, if you do not have one already, we suggest that you seek out a biblically aligned church that believes in a literal interpretation of Amos 3:3 WEB which says: “Can two walk together unless they are in agreement?” Find other Believers that are in agreement with you in their walk with Jesus.
