To those who have "accepted" Christ: what was ur life like before this decision and how did Christ change it?

I was at work and I had this inner feeling that if I died that moment I would go to hell, and I wanted to be saved. I went to a little baptist church that was praying for me, and I asked the Pastor to help me to be saved. He took out his Bible and took me through the scriptures that talked about salvation. We got on our knees and prayed and when I got done and stood up, I knew in my heart that something had changed inside of me.

I knew that I had to fix some problems in my life, and I started to do that. I was living in sin and got married. I was doing some drugs and I quit that. I lost all of my drug friends but gained new Christian ones. It has not always been easy, but it has always been right. God has fulfilled dreams that I had since childhood and I am happier than I could ever be.

Actually, I thought about it and realized that Jesus was a great teacher and a great human being. However, all the things he taught have been perverted by other humans (like Constantine and Paul) into a completely different and antithetical doctrine. If Jesus had come back in the early 1940s, he would have been sent to the gas chamber.

Jesus was just a man. If he had been the Messiah, wouldn't we have had peace and justice for the last 2000 years? All we've gotten is more war, hatred, injustice, cruelty, and violence, often in his name. Jesus may have been many things, but he certainly isn't "Christian".

once you examine carefully, Jesus did no longer ever say the crucifixion became into his meant potential of redeeming mankind. The Apostles have been at a loss as to a thank you to act after the crucifixion, which had on no account been on the tables. they had on no account been arranged for it and Jesus wasn't arranged for it the two, yet he'd completed his artwork as a good rabbi, and unfold lots of sturdy innovations, some taken from sects, others from Greek philosophy, others from issues he'd learnt in Alexandria and doubtless interior the ineffective Sea communities. After Jesus it wasn't lots "how can we understand what Jesus taught" as "how can we make the disappearance of this prophet smart and tie all of it up right into a logical, new faith". Arguments approximately what Jesus's visual allure and disappearance have been meant to intend went on for hundreds of years. In some years' time we will have the booklet of the newly got here across Judas' Gospel. which will placed some cats between the pigeons. permit's wish we get the unadulterated version and not Benedict sixteen's version.

Well...I accepted Him when I was little but I really had a realtionship with Christ about three years ago. And about six moths ago I really started to understand Him. I can't imagine life without Him. He's everything to me. My beginning and end.

i was always around the word of God cause i was in a christian school. I didnt really in my heart have God there. Then, i truly get God in my heart and move to another school, now my life is like boosting for God. I am in a totally non-Christian school and now i share the word of God. Its beautiful.

God Bless!

I didn't accept it. I was drafted.

Paul says that ALL who would live Godly must suffer persecution. The way of God has a lot of joy, but there is a lot of suffering too.

amoung other things i wasnt very uptight about sex. but when i accepted Christ as my personal savior i changed enough that i will not have sex untill marriage

everyway before i wanted o kill myself now i have meaning gods basically protected me from the mess that used to happen dont get me wrong i still have bad days but its apparent how great god is

I've always had god in my life and he makes everything better. You can always have someone to talk to and miracles do happen.
