Question for Christians ?.....?

Question

How old were you when you became a christian ? What about your life changed ? or were you changed ? how ?

Answer 1

I became a Christian when I was 28. Before I became a Christian I had no belief in any Gods or Religions. But then at a very low point in my life God saved me.

Answer 2

For real at 25, changed my life totally, those changes started immediately but I was so used to making my own decisions based on my feelings instead of waiting to figure out what the best thing was for me to do, it took me 10 years to get basically into an observable Christian lifestyle. Now 33 years after beginning, I am not perfect in any way but unbelievably different than I was before.

How was I changed? I will tell you this... if I had not become a Christian and continued living as I had been living, I would be dead or in prison by now. Instead, I am happily married for 22 years, one child who graduated from college and has a good job. I have a house that is paid for entirely, I have a very important job, many people depend on me, I am involved with several community organizations, etc.

I think I am a fairly poor example of a Christian but I am overwhelmed that I have been allowed the gift of being one. I consider that Jesus provided me that opportunity and none other except God.

Answer 3

I was 27, when I finally "sincerely" confessed my sins, asked for forgiveness, and ask Jesus to come into my heart/life, although as a child I'd always believed in God/Jesus, prayed, read the Bible (sometimes) but I never really understood what it all meant. Then, in later years, I lived such a horrible life, doing such horrible things, that I didn't think I deserved to even talk to God, because I was so horrible. The guilt and shame ate away at me. Finally, I got on my knees and cried out to God. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. And since that day, I have never done any of those "horrible" things I had done before. Being a Christian doesn't mean I have a perfect life, and that I'm still not tempted to do things I shouldn't. The Bible says we will have trials and tribulations...but it also says God will always provide a way out...that we must have faith. And being a Christian means having a "relationship" with God...it's a truly wonderful thing...the closer you draw to Him, the closer He will draw to you. I'm not the same person I was all those years ago, and I have God to thank for that.

Answer 4

I was 20 years old, I am 21 now. Life change can be best expressed through romans 7:9. For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
I guess for me it was about the conviction of my sins. I felt dead in my sins, but through Christ I was able to go about things with a newness of life. My life has changed through the relationship I have with my parents and family. I am focused on what is important to me in my life. I have also shed some bad habits.

Answer 5

I was 37 years old when I became a Christian. My granddaughter was born two months premature and was very healthy and the doctors said she wouldn't be. A lot of things about my life have changed since then. I still have problems, but now I know I am not going through them alone. God is always with me, He always has been, it just took me a while to catch up.

Answer 6

I became a born again Christian five years ago when I was 34 years old. My dad had passed on into heaven, as he also was born again, but way before Christ saved me. It is because of my father's death that the Lord turned me around, using my dad's passing as His way of telling me that, if I ever want to see my father again and spend all eternity with him, it can only be through Him (Christ) that I'll see him again. That was the turning point in my life when Christ made me realize how short life is and it's not to be wasted on living from day to day, but living for Him. Ever since that day, I've been saved. Thanks be to God! :D

Answer 7

When I was about five I was playing with a couple of fluffy lambs and thinking about how Jesus is called "The Lamb of God," and that meant that He died on the cross to take the blame for me because sometimes I'm very naughty. I looked up at a picture on the wall, and there was Jesus, "The Good Shepherd," holding a lamb. I asked my mom, "Is Jesus really "the Lamb" and "the Good Shepherd, both?" Mom said, "Yes." And then I realized that Jesus could do just about anything, would do just about anything, because He loved us that much. And I gave my heart to Him. I've made a lot of mistakes since then. But I've never been alone.

Answer 8

Great question!!! Well I was 20 when I was saved and much didn't change right away, but God weeded out alot of things slowly and changed my way of thinking (majorly!!) I used to use drugs and now I don't. I used to want to leave my husband and know I know that God can get us threw anything. I thought I was a strong person but he humbled me and made me see how week and scared I was and then gives me courage and strength when I need It.
Its amazing what happens when you leave things in Gods hands...

Answer 9

I was 22 when I became a Christian. God did indeed change my life. God is healing me and helping me everyday. As I read the Bible, pray, and witness for God my life is being changed!

Answer 10

I was baptized when I was nine years old. Once I got into my teens, I had some issues, and I grew a little away from God. In college I realized how far away from God I had gotten, and I'm still in the process of fixing a lot of things. I'm glad I believe in God, or I don't know how I'd be dealing with all of the stuff in my life.
