YES you can! - 1John 5:13 says "These things have I written unto you, that ye may know that ye have eternal life, even unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God."
This is more than believing in the existence of a historical figure named Jesus Christ. This is believing from the depth of your innermost being, or your heart. Romans 10: 9 -11 says.
"Because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord, and in your heart believe that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms his salvation.
The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him will ever be put to shame or be disappointed. When you know that Jesus is the Son of God and that God raised him from the dead, that's the kind of believing the Bible is talking about.
If you have never confessed Jesus as your Lord and you mean business, pray this prayer out loud. The change you have longed for is coming to you!
-Father, I come to you in the name of your Son Jesus. I really believe that He died for my sins and sickness and that You raised Him from the Dead for me. Right now I openly confess and acknowledge Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Thank You Father for saving me, according to scripture I am now your child.
If you prayed this prayer, let us know, and welcome to the family of God. Find a good Bible believing church in your area. Begin reading the Bible daily. The Book of John is a great place to start. Begin to pray and talk to God. You'll grow this way.
GOD LOVES YOU!
