PRAISE BE UNTO THE LIVING GOD !! Yes I am a born again follower of the Lord Jesus Christ ! We are distinct and different from the world because we are not of the world and we are set free from this corrupt culture by the death of Christ.[Gal.1:4,Rom 12:2] We do not surrender to the Lord a part of our lives.We do not just add Jesus to a carnal way of living and be a cultural Christian with no passion for God.What value is Christianity if it does not transform our lives and still leaves us in the bondage of sin. To fully surrender means to completely depend on the Lord for true salvation and our conduct will bear the fruit of obedience. There are no regrets when a person forsakes his sin and places faith in Jesus Christ and is born of God.[1st John 2:3-6] The soft ,low demands of a cultural Christianity will never change a life !This is a counterfeit brand of Christianity! A true Christian is in the world but not of the world and we must not be contaminated by it .[James 1:27] If people see no difference in our values,habits and conduct and speech and that the pleasures of this fallen world are eagerly sought after by us as by them:that we are dependent upon earthly things for satisfaction as they are,then they wont think very much of our Christianity ,for we shall be falling very short of the New Testament Standard![Titus 1:15-16][2nd Tim.3:1-5] True conversion leads to growth in being more like Christ and the fruit of the Spirit.[Rom.8:29,Gal.5:22-23] As true followers of Christ we follow and pursue holiness in the details of life ! We hunger for more holiness ![Heb.12:14] We will by the Spirit of God and our own free will in Christ commit to living a holy and godly life ! 2nd Cor.7:1Having therefore these promises ,dearly beloved ,let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of flesh and spirit ,perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Eph.4:24And that ye put on the new man ,which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. We are commanded to wear the clean fresh clothes of the new life in Christ.Read Eph.4:25-32,Eph.5:1-17 that will show you the conduct of the new man in Christ ! Finally we will have a desire to share the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ ! [Mark16:15] A changed life is a powerful testimony ! But we must share what the Word of God says concerning repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.[Acts 20:21] We must let our light shine and be the salt of the earth .[Matt.5:13-16] Pray for boldness and may the Lord open doors of ministry to you as you reach out to the lost.In your own personal world and daily activities seek out opportunities to tell others about the Lamb of God ! Please my friends choose Jesus Christ. You can receive Christ right now. Remember that Jesus says, Im standing at the door and Im knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in. Would you like to respond to his invitation? Heres how. If you dont know Jesus as your personal Savior just pray this simple pray and you will be saved The precise words you use to commit yourself to God are not important. He knows the intentions of your heart. If you are unsure of what to pray, this might help you put it into words: Jesus, I want to know you. I want you to come into my life. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin so that I could be fully accepted by you. Only you can give me the power to change and become the person you created me to be. Thank you for forgiving me and giving me eternal life with God. I give my life to you. Please do with it as you wish. Amen. If you sincerely asked Jesus into your life just now, then he has come into your life as he promised. You have begun a personal relationship with God. What follows is a lifelong journey of change and growth as you get to know God better through Bible reading, prayer and interaction with other Christians. If you received Jesus Christ as your personal Savior today, comment Amen to tell everyone you just received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior!!! Dont be ashamed :)
