Becoming a Christian doesn't make a bad person good enough.

A true conversion starts with the heart. Unless you’ve been born again, you will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Some may think that they’ll give their life to God when they’re old or have done all the things they want to do. They may think that they’re not ready to be a ‘good’ person right now.

No one, not one human on earth is good enough to be a Christian. We’re all sinners. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Don’t wait until you’re good enough. God wants you to come as you are; broken, hurting, lonely and hopeless.

But even after you’ve given your life to Christ, this doesn’t mean that all of a sudden, you’re this ‘golden child of God.’ On the contrary. We all face sin and live with sin every day. But, thank God that He’s already died for all of our sins; He’s paid the price for all our past sins, or the sins of our future.

That’s why it says in the Bile that we have to die to self every day. This means laying down the old life and living for Jesus.

None of us will be perfect in this life, but we can serve the one perfect God, who will make us all perfect one day when He takes us home to Heaven, for all eternity.

Isaiah 12:2 - “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”
