I am not sure if I'll be save. I don't go to church every sundays. I'm not that so prayful but I am kind to others. I know I don't need my life alone. I also need God and to realized that I should have not live like I don't need God. I still believe in God. I'm thankful of His blessings. It just give me a doubt how to be save and ascend in heaven. It's a big puzzle in everyone's life. No one could tell. Only God can anwer that.

I emphatically say YES. Why?
1. Jesus says so.
He promised in John 3:16 that "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life." It is very clear in this verse that by believing in Jesus Christ you can now have the eternal life, based also to his promise. If he promised to save us, then he will do what he said because God is not a liar. He fulfilled his promises and will fulfill it until the end of the age.
2. Because of his Righteousness that was imputed to me.
According to Ephesians 2:8-9, it says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, and not of works lest anyone should boast." Here we can observe that faith is a gift of God. Therefore we can be saved through believing ONLY in him, and that faith will saved us. Notice that faith is given by God through us, so there is no reason to be proud of because even faith is a gift from God who can save us from our sins. Therefore it is God who will save us, and not through ourselves, because we within us have no good thing because according to Romans chapter 3:10 "There is no righteous, no not even one." So therefore we cannot save by our own good works because even our good works will be consider as bad because we man usually do good for selfish and wrong motives. So no one will be saved through himself and what he did, but merely by Christ.
After we believe in Christ, repent from our sins and trust him to be our Lord, our saviour, and our satisfier, then his perfect righteousness, which he lived during his earthly ministry here on earth, will be considered as yours and it will imputed unto us. Then we will become good based on Christ Righteousness. Then we will no longer foreigners and strangers in the sight of God because God considered us as righteous based on Christ righteousness counted as ours. What a grace!!!!
Did you get the whole point my friend? I am very much happy if you will response to my discussions or if possible, if there any objections, feel free to answer me back. Thanks for that kind of Question. God Bless.
