@Ferise1 Don't forget that Satan is The Great Deceiver, a liar, but God is no liar. People could take anything as a sign but we don't go by sight, we believe by faith. That is what it takes. Satan will bring many signs to people to deceive them to think that God is not real and that he does not save because he doesn't want people to be saved but we cannot take those as a sign from God. They are not.
@Ferise1 That could be anything but remember, a guy on TV doesn't know you, so you cannot take a person's word from a TV guy. That was coincidental and maybe that's what Satan wanted you to do is believe the man over God. The guy says these are the two pillars of western civilisation, cricket, and Christianity. That's a pretty silly statement in itself for the guy to say. That was the guy's general impression. This would not be from God because he would not want you to doubt him or his word. It may have been a glitch somewhere in the programming or it could have even been Satan wanting you to doubt God.
@Ferise1 No. What if everyone who watched the man on TV thought he was speaking to them personally? That cannot be counted as a sign from God. And my question would be why would it matter if the man said anything about cricket and Christianity? That's not a sign of anything, just a statement from the man. It means nothing.
@Ferise1 God is always there 24/7, wanting us to come to him for salvation and he turns no one away. He's not willing that any should perish but have everlasting life in heaven with him. He always has our best interest at heart. And he proved that on the cross when he died to pay for our sins and whosoever believes in him and trusts him, shall have everlasting life in heaven. That's a promise of God. He's the only thing we can depend on in this world. He would never lead us astray.

@Ferise1 We are all in the same spiritual boat, in the beginning...All in need of a Savior. God gave man a conscience, so he would know right from wrong. The Bible says that one way God speaks to us, is through the Holy Spirit speaking to our conscience. We do know right from wrong, and when we do wrong, that is why our conscience bothers us, because we know we are sinning against God. God would not tell us to do terrible things. Satan does. It's up to us, whom we listen to and follow.
We also get to know God through His Word, the Bible. It teaches us the way in which we should go, if we want to have eternal life. It tells us that our sins keep us separated from our Father in Heaven, and that is why we need to ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins, which he gladly does, and when he does forgive us of our sins, he not only forgives us of them, but He forgets them as well, and remembers them no more, the Bible says. God's forgiveness is a gift freely given, not something earned through human effort.
Simply put, we cannot drag our sins into a holy heaven or it would not be heaven, so we must repent of them...that is, feel genuinely sorry for our sins and ask Jesus to forgive us, and he promises to do so. He keeps his word to us and that's what we depend on. He washes our sins away, just as if we had never sinned before, and makes us ready to enter Heaven. With our sins forgiven by jesus, we are now in right standing before God the Father. This is when we start a brand new life in Christ. And His Holy Spirit comes into us and guides and leads us in life. He helps us fight temptation and we no longer want to live the old sinful life, but turn to Christ and now live for him. When we make the decision to commit our lives to Christ and trust him to save us, he does come into our hearts and lives and the power of the Holy Spirit lives in us and transforms our lives to follow Christ. We don't follow Christ because we have to, but because we want to, out of our great love for Christ, who saved our soul from hell. We have entered into a new relationship with Christ and He lives in us. That is His promise. Then we grow in Christ, by reading our Bible and learning more of him. And of course praying to him and fellowshipping with him.
"For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities, will I remember no more." Hebrews 8:12
God forgiving and forgetting our sins, is a powerful message of hope and redemption, emphasizing God's willingness to extend mercy and grace to all who seek forgiveness.

@Ferise1 All go to hell, you say? That's up to the individual's choice. That is their own responsibility, whether or not they want to protect their souls. But the Bible says there's no second chances after one crosses over into eternity.
I have had a personal experience with God, when I sought him with all my heart and soul. Do not assume I have not. I have had many encounters with God, just as anyone else can if they so choose. Just going by the Bible you say? Try to go by any other manuscript on Earth and it will not lead you to heaven. Who better would know how to get to heaven, than Jesus? He's been there, came here to prove to us who he was and why he came and even died on the cross to prove his love to us, then went back to His Father in heaven when his mission was finished. Our souls is something he did not want us to have to guess about. He already proved himself to the world...he doesn't need to do it again. God left His word to us as his love letter to mankind, to tell us exactly how to get to heaven. People can certainly reject that, and his Plan of Salvation, but one thing they won't be able to do is say that they were not told how to get to heaven. Many will curse and mock him and tell him they want nothing to do with him, and he will honor their decision, although it will grieve him. If that's what they want.
God saved my daughter from dying and I've got the papers and proof. I wrote a post about that. All the doctors gave up on her and told her she had a week to live and her organs were already shutting down. Our family prayed for God's help and she was healed instantly. That's what we call a miracle. It didn't take hours or months, he did it instantly and I've got pictures to prove it as well.
