For those of
you who do not yet know Jesus Christ: You have the most awesome part of your
life still ahead of you!
Decide
to ask Jesus to be the leader in your life.
Find a
Christian, a church, a Bible, and be prepared for a new and better life!
The one true
God and Creator is not a nice theory.
He wants a
close relationship with you.
Give
your life to Jesus, and prepare to be amazed!
Try to think
from your heart, and not your mind, because we cannot fully understand God – He
is so much greater than us.
But the
Bible is full of stories about how He wants to work with us and through us,
and He still
do..
To become a Christian is not the goal.
That is when it all starts..
It’s
the start of a wonderful journey that will last for the rest of your life.
You will
discover that The Bible is a book of Living Words, it will “speak” to you.
To become a
Christian is to gradually be changed from within – to be set free from fears,
anger, worries, depressions.
The fruits
of God’s Spirit will start to grow in you as you seek to know Him:
Love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
(Galatians
5: 22-23)
When you
give your life to Jesus, all the fruit of the Spirit are planted inside you in
seed form. Through the Spirit you can experience joy and peace in every
circumstance, no matter how difficult or painful.
You may not
be a naturally patient person, but you can call on the Spirit within to produce
patience. If you’re battling unhealthy behaviors, like an addiction or some
kind of bad habit, the Holy Spirit can give you the ability to resist the devil
and make healthy choices.
If
you search God from your heart, you will find Him.
You will
discover that HE LOVES YOU.
It is vital
that you find a good environment to grow in.
Churches are
different – search till you find one where you feel at home.
Healthy
signs to look for:
- They welcome you when
you attending the service
- They start with a good
worship – worship is key in the relationship with God
- They expect God
to be present with His Holy Spirit, and to speak to His church/children
- They pray for each
other, and experience God’s answering their prayers
- They have house groups
you can join – essential for growing as a Christian
- They have Bible
studies, or you shall learn something during the services
- They are engaged in
helping others/tell about Jesus in your town and abroad
When
you learn to know the most important person in your life, it’s important that
you spend time with Him –every day.
It’s like
with any other heart friend.
We spend
time with the ones we love.
And God will
reward every second you spend with Him.
As your intimacy to the Lord grows, you will discover
that being with Him gives you great pleasure.
Find
a time of the day that suits you, and start with 30 minutes to an hour every
day to be with God.
Tell family
you will not be disturbed, mute your cell phone.
Get a
journal to write down thoughts and questions that pups up during the hour.
God may also
speak to you through thoughts He gives you, or through specific Word that
stands out and gets your attention..
Read the
Bible, and pray to Him. Talk to Him like you talk to a friend.
I
recommend you start reading in one of the Gospels.
There you
read about the life and words of Jesus.
He shows us
the true Heart of God.
Here from
Johannes 15:
“If
you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and
it shall be done for you.
By
this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My
disciples.”
If
we will abide in Him, we will experience God’s will for our lives, and
everything Jesus has will be ours. Abiding means making
Jesus the most important person in your life, living and remaining in Him, and
making everything in life revolve around Him. That’s when we bear the fruit of
a godly life. And that’s when God’s true joy is released in us.
Until
you find a good church, this is a good place to start to get teachings about
how your faith will help you I your everyday life.
