We all want to be happy in our lives. We go around and look for things that please us or give us joy. But too many times those things that give us happiness, those material things, are but for the moment, temporary. The Living God is, however, forever! True happiness is to know the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior; that is what true happiness is all about.

What does it mean to be a Christian? Christians are people who believe in Jesus Christ and trust him enough to give him control of their lives. Being a Christian is a personal decision that each and every individual must make.

Christians are not those who are born into faith by virtue of their family members being Christians; nor is it an effort to do good everyday; neither is it a person who simply goes to church every Sunday. Being a Christian does not make you better than other people but rather assures you of having a personal counselor when you are in need.

Why should we become Christians? With all of our strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures, virtues and sins, God made us all just the way we are and yet wants to have a relationship with you. Nevertheless, this is not to make excuses to be satisfied with your weaknesses and failures but rather God wants to help us become what he intended us to be -- a complete and whole person who can commune with God without the added baggage of our failures or sins getting in the way.

Throughout our lives, we are all on a journey of exploring, discovering, recognizing and working through our problems, our weaknesses and failures. By accepting Jesus Christ into your life, God will shape your life so that you may have eternal peace, joy, and happiness.

How does one become a Christian? Anyone can become a Christian. You don't have to wait until you have attended church for a number of Sunday mornings; or until you have accumulated a certain number of good deeds; neither should you wait until you stop a bad habit. Begin today, right now before it is too late! God has a plan to help you.

Do you want to know Jesus Christ? Do you want to have a better relationship with God? Do you believe that you are a sinner and do you want to be relieved of the burdens of sin? Are you willing to trust Jesus to be your personal Savior? If you answered yes to these questions you are already on your way to becoming a Christian. All you need to do is to pray and ask Jesus Christ to take over your life.
