Be Blessed.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (Love), I am become as a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vauneth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seekth not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth.
And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is (Love) charity.
Marianny,
The bible tells us that there is none righteous but the father. Ordinary people sin everyday, that is why we pray to God to forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
John 1:9-10 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
John 2:1 My little children , these things I write unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man may sin, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous.
Roman 8: 33-34 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intersession for us.
Act 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteouness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Matthew 12:31-32 Wherfore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men, And whosoever speakest a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speakth against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
So you see marianny, God loves us and he wants us to be the best that we can be. The Bible also says God despises liars. If I were you, I would pray for forgiveness and try to tell the truth from now on. If you have confessed Christ as your personal savior you are washed in the blood of the lamb and your sins (past and present) have already been covered by Jesus' blood that was shed on the cross. That does not give you a license to go out and lie when you want to. When we sin we crucify him over and over again. He sacrificed his live to save us from our sins. Our sins were nailed to the cross with him on Calvary. You will not be left behind when Jesus rapture his church but your crown in glory may be missing a few jewels.
Be blessed.
It sounds like you are concerned about something we cannot control totally. We are born in sin (Rom. 5:12) and we sin everyday, however, an intentional sin and/or sin that is practiced is what we can control and try to avoid. We can do our best not to lie, commit unlawful acts, etc., but Almighty God looks to see what we can become, not what our sinful state is currently. And if we repent for our sins and are genuine, we can gain forgiveness. I would then search for true christianity which can be found.
“God’s purposes are so vast and glorious, beyond all guessing now, that when they are achieved and consummated, all our sufferings and sorrows of today, even the agonies that nearly break our faith, the disasters that well nigh overwhelm us, shall, seen from that fair country where God’s age long dreams come true, bulk as little as bulk now the pieces of a broken toy upon a nursery floor, over which, thinking that all our little world was in ruins, we cried ourselves to sleep.”

Marianny you asked, "I really wanna be a Christian. My family is but I don't really understand. If I sin, like tell a lie, and God comes for His people, will I stay because I didn't say sorry before He came?"
