You can post and "like" all the Scripture statuses and photos you like, you can wear all the Christian jewelry and clothing you want, you can faithfully attend all the church services and participate in the choir and sing, "Lord, Lord," but if you are NOT right with the LORD, God Almighty; your prayers and VAIN public display are not heard, nor seen by THE FATHER!
How can we be right with God? By wholeheartedly repenting of all our sins (no, your repentance prayer that you recited when you were five doesn't count!), surrendering and submitting to His perfect will by denying ourselves, taking up our cross DAILY, and following Christ by OBEYING Him. If ye love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15). As new creations in Christ, our only desire is to please our Master. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves (James 1:22). Christ wants everything, or nothing.
