Becoming a Christian is like changing direction on a journey. The first step is acknowledging that we are going the wrong way. That living for ourselves is not what God intended for us and that we need to turn around and follow him. This involves saying sorry to God for rebelling against him and for not living in a way that pleases him. The second step is to thank God for his amazing love in sending Jesus to earth to live a perfect life then die on a cross to pay the price for our wrong doing before rising from the dead to offer us a brand new life. The third step is to put our trust in him receiving this new life and resolving to live for him. As we do this he promises that he will give us the power to follow him. When we become a Christian we join God’s family (the church) where in a loving environment we can grow in our faith.
