Confused about the lord.. [Spirituality & Religion]

I'm Struggling with believing and trusting in the Lord. I want so badly to believe, let him into my life. I'm not sure how to start or what to do. I'm Catholic and I've noticed that Christians have more of a pull more emotion then I've ever seen. Can anyone one help me out?

Being a Christian isn’t gonna make you love god more or know him more than being a catholic. You have to decide if you want to be in church that often cause you like it and you like their services more. I’d say find a good pastor or priest and go from there.

@Keepitsimple thank you

It’s not about how many times you hit the church doors, give tithes, do good works, or do good to others. The list is extensive.

What did Jesus have to say about these? He said we cannot get to heaven by doing good works….period! Only by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Trusting Him and what HE says is right, and you’ve got some awfully bad advice from some here. Just the opposite from how JESUS said to be saved. Please read His Word. You can trust HIM.

“For you are saved HOW?? By GRACE - UNEARNED FAVOR FROM GOD - through Faith in your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” Ephesians 2: verses 8 - 9. Jesus said nothing about working or earning your way to heaven, lest people could boast they saved themselves and that is not possible. It’s Jesus that does the saving and keeping of you.

Further, loving and fellowshipping with Jesus, WILL bring you closer to Jesus. That has nothing to do with where you go to church. It’s faithfulness and dedication that count. It’s a personal relationship, NOT “religion”, though others say differently. The word “Christian”, simply means one who is a follower of Christ. ANYONE can have “religion”, but do the have a personal relationship with Jesus??? Is the QUESTION. Even the Devil believes in God, yet he’s not going to heaven!
