There comes a point in our lives when we must make a change, a turning point in our behavior. It may not happen overnight, but gradually, we can transform how we live and what we do. It’s a journey, a gradual transition towards seeking first the kingdom of God and putting Him first in every aspect of our lives.
But this transformation can only happen when we give our lives to Jesus. When we surrender ourselves to Him, the Holy Spirit comes to guide and help us understand. It all starts with a simple prayer to receive Jesus into our hearts.
Jesus, I believe in You, the Son of God, who died on the cross to save me from sin and death. I choose to turn away from my sins, my self-centeredness, and anything that doesn’t please You. I choose You, Jesus. I give myself to You.
Every day, we should begin with prayer. I personally start my mornings with my own prayers, and then I listen to a Bible plan from my version Bible app. This helps me hear God’s wisdom and understand His will for my life.
Hey! I love using YouVersion, and I think you will, too. You can study God’s Word, read and watch daily devotionals, pray with friends, and more!

Living the life of a believer means looking out for the interests of others, loving our neighbours as ourselves. However, we must also care for our own needs and set boundaries, so we don’t get taken for granted or taken advantage of.
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend watching the film “The Passion of the Christ .” Witnessing the end of Jesus’s life and the suffering He endured for us can truly change our perspective and help us revere Him, preventing us from falling into sin.
I once had a conversation with a Muslim friend who couldn’t grasp the concept of having a relationship with Jesus. He believed that Christianity was solely about having good morals. He didn’t understand that we all aspire to be like Jesus, and that can only happen through reading the Bible, studying Christian literature, and having fellowship with other believers.
We believe in the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three in one. We are made in God’s image, either as a man or a woman, and we can trust Jesus to lead and guide us. Each of us has been given unique talents that we can use for the glory of God and to build His kingdom on earth.
Lastly, we hold onto the belief that Jesus will come back to earth, and those who have been sleeping will be raised up. This hope gives us strength and reassurance in our faith.
Let us set our minds on things above, seek God’s kingdom, and live a life that reflects His love and grace. May we continually grow in our relationship with Jesus and share His message with others.
