My years before become a christian were years of pain,hurt,loss and failure,to be assured of God's love and forgiveness and a future in heaven is something I am so very grateful for,it surpasses any worldly value

people have sin since Adam and Eve.So to hear they're sinful can feel an attack on their nature and character,that's what makes alot of peoplefear becoming a christian.It is good to tell them that if you turn your life to Jesus,He can help put your life into place.

Holiness to me is living a life of purity with the Lord Jesus,the more you stay close to Jesus and be fulfilled by His love for you,living a holy life will come easier for a cgristian,and make us handle temptations as a mature christian,yet when we fall we know that through repentance we can have the forgiveness of Jesus

I find the more time I spend in prayer,being surrounded by christian friends,reading the Bible etc,helps one to stay focused and close to Jesus,we will tend to want to do His will more as we love Him more and want to serve Him more and trust Him with all situations in our lives,then we tend to be able to stay stronger as a christian and not "fall"

Joy is knowing without doubt that through all of life's troubles and strife,we will have Jesus by our side.Worldly things can give us happiness like a new car,which may be a necessity for work eg,but won't give us "the peace of God which passes all understanding"

I had a breakdown,was overworked,major financial trouble,my mother died,dog died,horse went blind,yet through all that pain,I drew closer to Jesus,knowing his love and care will pull me through,he doesn't say life will be easy for any of us,but we can rest assured He is ALWAYS with us

we beleiveand know Jesus is real and our Lord and Saviour and we're assured of salvation,Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again,so that whoever beleives in Jesus is saved

I think it all started falling into place for me when I became born again and baptised in the Holy Spirit.There is a never ending urge inside to be close to Jesus live his will and be more like Him. Of course there are times I sin and still need to turn to him through repentance and having his forgiveness,but it's so fantastic to know I have that,than before I was a christian

I think we have to learn as christians where to have our prioitys,it says in the bible God will supply all our NEEDS,these are different from wordly things we want.Jejsus wants us to live as people showing his love to the world,which we can't do if we're obsessed with materialistic possessions
