[QUOTE="Gary K, post: 77315565, member: 4041"] Follow Jesus' advice. We cannot become dedicated Christians on our own. We need to do several things to become that way, First we need to acknowledge that we need help and it sounds to me as if you're there, Next we need to ask Jesus into our heart every day and ask Him to send the Holy Spirit to us every day to change our heart and give us the right motives. We need daily Bible study too and it sounds like you;re already doing that. It sounds to me as if you're already doing some of the right things so congrats on that. For those of us who are really concientious and truly desire to be a good Christian we end up falling and failing every day when we attempt to follow Jesus on our own power. We need that power that can only come from God to change who we are instead of relying on ourselves. Unfortunately not a lot of people seem to know this and keep on falling and failing and thus become discouraged and either leave the church or become satisfied with failing. Congrats on not giving into that and asking for help. If you just turn to Jesus you will live a victorious Christian life. Just beware that when you start living the victorious life the devil will come after you and really work hard to discourage you or distract you from spending the time you need with Jesus every day. Been there and done that. It's his strategy with everyone because he knows if we stay close to Jesus he will lose and it makes him mad to lose. [/QUOTE]
