A person does not unconsciously develop a Christian life. When one makes a decision to become a Christian, one chooses to trust and follow Jesus Christ. The Christian faith is not inherited, no one can make this all important decision for another. God does not force anyone to follow him. God invites us.
The Steps to become a Christian are clearly revealed:
Turn from your sinful and selfish ways
The only way you can enjoy God's eternal companionship is to repent or turn from selfishness and sin.
He commands all people everywhere to repent
Jesus said,
The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel
You must make an "about face" in the direction your life is taking. You must turn from your own selfish way and turn to Christ.
Believe in Jesus Christ
You must receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, believing that Christ forgives your sins and gives you eternal life. The Bible says,
Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved
To all who receive him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God
Follow the commands of Christ
Jesus said,
If you love me, you will keep my commandments
This means that you will constantly seek Christ's help in order that you may be a loyal, stalwart follower, obedient to his commands, living a joyful, radiant, dedicated Christian Life.
