Hi Justtime, and welcome to CC. 
We all started somewhere. God knows your heart, so if you are wanting to believe in and follow Him, He knows already.
The gospel ('good news') is simple: in and of ourselves, we are all sinners. The Bible says clearly that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal. What God wants of us is that we believe in the One He has sent; that One is Jesus Christ. He died on a Roman cross to pay the penalty of sin for us, and He came back to life (was resurrected) three days later. Believe that, and God come to live in you and begins working out His good purposes in your life.
The Bible tells you all that and much more. You have to start somewhere; many people recommend starting by reading the Gospel according to John. I'd suggest reading Genesis early on as well, because it provides the foundation for everything that happens later.
If you don't have a physical Bible, there are many available online. Two good sources are BibleGateway.org, and the YouVersion app for your smartphone.

You'll know. When Jesus asked Peter the same question Peter was told in Matthew 16:15-17;
15 "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."
15 "He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."
I would say start with the gospel of john. I am not saying that because it is my favourite gospel and because i have the DVD, i am saying it because its about the core spiritual system of beliefs. It gets to the point about who Jesus is, the other gospels refer to Jesus teaching, but John talks about Jesus in nature and spirituality and essence.
