Becoming a Christian is probably the easiest thing in the world to do.  The first thing that you have to do, is pray to God and tell me how sorry you are for the things that you've done in your life, then ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart.  Finally, know that Jesus Christ died for you and washed away your sins.  But, becoming a Christian doesn't mean that your life will be a piece of cake after that.  That is when the real work begins.  Living a Christian life is often hard, but at the same time, very rewarding.  To walk the path of God is a peaceful walk.  A walk that takes you through the good times and the bad times. 

Don't be fooled into believing that once you're a Christian, you'll have untold wealth, health and happiness, because more often than not, you won't.  Living a Christian life does insure you the keys to the kingdom that God promised you though.  It offers you a life like no other, and it's offered to you freely. 

Accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior and asking God to come into your heart is a gift within itself.  Because God loved you so much that he sent his only son to die for us.  To wash away your sins, as well as those who come after you.  Knowing that the only way to heaven is through God's grace and living the life of a good Christian are the only things you need to do to insure your place in the kingdom of God.

Once you become a Christian, your job is to lead others to God.  Through this, God will give you many blessings.  There is a certain peace that is attained when you give your life to Christ, that you cannot get in any other way.  A peace that transforms who you were, into who you are becoming through Jesus Christ, and that feeling is amazing.  It takes over you whole life and gives you a courage that you've never experienced before.  It transforms the way you look at things and people. 

Once you've been touched by the hand of God, you're life will NEVER be the same again.  And the best part about that is that you won't want the life you had before because you know that what you have now is better....purer.  A gift given directly to you by GOD.
