How can you focus on worldly things when its around you everyday. When you first came into christ was it hard for you to just cut out worldly things like for example: ( certain music, television shows, sex, cursing -if you cursed-. Its just a struggle for me because i have to catch myself alot, and now i know im held accountable for these things because i know. People say i was wrong for leaving my boyfriend after being with him for three years for religious reasons, he was a atheist, but God showed him some things and now he wonts to be saved should i stay with him threw this process? Where both new to this! should get back with him?

I cannot decide this, but my thinking is that since you have both come to Christ just recently, maybe the courtship should begin anew. You can help each other grow, but it is important that you spend time with people who have been living in Christ for some time.
One thing you have to consider: maybe he is turning to Christ to stay connected to you, not of his own accord. Both of you have to examine this possibility and be honest about it. If this is the case, his conversion is shallow and may not last. Plus, he won't be the greatest help to you in your spiritual development. That is why you need other Christians too.
Congratulations!

Just means to be in the world but not of it. As you grow it will get easier for you--the Lord will eventually take over all those wordly things and someday you won't remember the last time you cussed. Your relationship with Christ should be first--just read your Word and seek the Lord for direction about your boyfriend. Sometimes, it's best to grow separately, and see what God will do. I'll pray for you and I'm so happy for your salvation.

means dont get attached to worldly things and possesions
(evan peple to a degree).
Becuase what's on earth wont las forever; but the things inheaven will.Which is why you should focus on prayer and being a good christian, because everything you do down here concerning christ will go towards what kind and/or how many rewards you will get in heaven

Introduce your ex boyfriend to Jesus. That is the only way to salavtion. Once you are yolked as the same in your life with serving God. It's ok to go back with him. Perhaps it was your walking away from your boyfriend that forced him to see that he too needs Jesus in his life, just like you do.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Once you introduce your boyfriend to Jesus, and he willingly accepts Him as his savior, the both of you will be in the lighted pathway of Jesus and no longer in the darkness of sin. But.... you still must obey God's laws and not fornicate, or you will not be living according to God's will. Wait until you are married, if that is the dirrection you will be going.
Read this scripture...
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
The ones wo do the will of God will be the ones who enter into the kingdom of heaven. The ones that just say they are Christians, but there is no action in their walk and no obedience to God's word, shall not see the kingdom of God.
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
