Being saved isn't just about going to heaven, we can be saved from our sins right now, and our pasts be washed away, our lives be made anew. For me, I was way off the deep end in lust and drug use before devoting my life to Christ and He has made within me a clean heart. My lowest point was my 20th birthday when I overdosed on too much drugs and was placed in a psyche ward. There I met Christ, but I didn't have a relationship with God until 3 years after. Now I am completely changed and couldn't be happier.
God will heal us from our addictions and problems, but He wants to get to know us personally too. I plead anyone reading this to spend time with God in prayer and in the Bible, just to be with Him.
There was a man who once prayed every day from 6:00 - 7:00 before work, saying, "God, it's me. I'm just here to spend some time with You." One day that man unfortunately was in a dangerous accident and was placed into the hospital. He was in a coma and the measurement of his heart rate proved to be weak and irregular for days. However, every day, from 6:00 - 7:00, his heart rate jumped completely back to normal on the readings, and the medical staff only saw it after the fact. When he got out of the coma, he made a complete recovery, and the baffled medical staff asked him, "What happened every day from 6:00 - 7:00?" He said he had the same dream every day, and every day he heard, "[Friend], it's God. I'm just here to spend some time with you."
