Now that you believe in Jesus Christ, you are a "child of God" and you belong to a new family. The goal of this family is to serve God and to love people. Some people think that Christianity is a set of rules. It is really a relationship between a loving God and his beloved children. (Romans 5:6-11)
Hang in there! When you're discouraged by doubts and failures, remember that growth is a process. God has plans for you, and won't give up on you-ask for God's help. God promises to help you improve (Philippians 1:6).
Becoming a Christian means being willing to let Christ completely change the structure of our lives—adjusting our priorities so that we might begin daily to "seek first the kingdom of God." Our devotion to God must come before all. We must confess our Lord publicly and commit to His purpose for us now.
Don't be surprised by your struggles, everyone has them. Every follower of Jesus has certain vulnerabilities, whether it is losing your temper, materialism, envy, gossip, etc. People may persuade you to disobey God, or you may find yourself in tempting situations. The Bible says that before you accept Jesus, it is very difficult for you to resist temptation (Colossians 1:13). Even after deciding to follow Jesus, people still struggle with temptation and sometimes give into temptation. The good news is, once you've decided to follow Jesus, you will possess the desire to please God daily, and God will continue to help you resist temptation (Romans 7:21-25).
All people sin. When you do sin, it doesn't have to be the end of your relationship with God. Confess your wrongs to God, and He will forgive you. Find Christian friends to support you and hold you accountable.
No matter what happens, God promises you a way to escape any spiritual danger. No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear but when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Enjoy your life with Christ now, be happy, sing praises to His Holy Name, He is worthy, He is LOVE!
God Bless You!
