Thinking about Becoming a Christian?
Whether you've been following my blog for a while now or are a new visitor, my goal of this blog is to encourage those in their walk of faith throughout young adult life in college. I'm thankful for readers who are Christian and Non-Christian but today I want to walk through something for those questioning their faith and exploring Christianity.
As I've mentioned in a previous blog post about my testimony (if you haven't read it, you can do so here) accepting Christ into my life has been the best decision I ever made. This is not because life has been all grand and nothing has gone wrong in the past year, but because even through the hard times I have a living and faithful hope.
This message is for everyone, everyone needs to hear that Jesus died for you and me and is calling you into a relationship with Him.
When I realized I needed Christ
When I came to the end of myself realizing that my life had been dragged down by emotional and mental stress. There were things in my life I was doing for the pleasure of it and God stopped me before things got worse. I wanted something eternal that would fulfill me always, and I knew nothing on this earth could ever fill me.
Why I need Christ
I am a sinner that had lost some sort of hope and guidance. The Bible says that sin separates us from God. But, Jesus is the bridge between us and God. Jesus died on the cross for you and me to be the perfect sacrifice for all our sins. Jesus died, was buried, and rose from the grave to show his power and victory over all death. The Bible says this: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.
How I accepted Christ
A simple prayer that led me to a life of commitment to my faith. It's as easy as this: Admit to God that you realize you are a sinner and need Him to intervene in your life. Believe that God is your only hope of salvation and that you want to follow Him. Commit your life to Him to grow in your spiritual walk.
How life has been since I accepted Christ
While at first I was on a spiritual high, life caught up with temptations, drama, and lows. God doesn't promise an easy life once you accept Him into it, but He offers a life to the full (John 10:10). I surrendered things in my life that was holding me back from fully experiencing God's presence. It was hard, but I will always believe that falling in love with God is the most beautiful thing you can do. Christianity isn't a religion with just a bunch of rules to follow, it's a personal and loving relationship with the Creator of the universe.
There is a lot more amazing opportunities and information on becoming a Christian that I could not cover. I encourage you to check out some of these resources for more detailed information:
While this blog may have been apart of a college course, I've loved being able to share my faith through this way. Reach out with questions or comments anytime! I'd love to hear from you all!
