Since becomming a Christian, has your life changed for the better? How much progress have you made? Is it noticeable?

Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? though to have fruits of rightesouness you must be abiding in the true vine! Jesus! (Feeding on the bread of life, the word!) Faith without any works(doing good what God has called you to do)..is dead, spirturally! |

Reps: 21 (power: 0) | | | I don't agree with the choices of the poll considering the question asked.
The Lord has blessed me and delivered me from many areas since I have become a Christian.(22 years) However in that time I have also found many, many sins I'm guilty of that I wasn't aware were even sins. Pride for an example, I'm still dealing with in areas I didn't know existed. There are hundreds of others that when one judges themself will find much cleaning up to do. |

Reps: 387 (power: 0) | | | I didn't vote because I didn't really find an answer that "fit." Since becoming a Christian 12 years ago, I have definitely changed. I am much more aware of how I am connected to the community and how my decisions and/or sins really do affect other people around me. My attitudes have changed about everything from marriage to social concerns to financial planning to child rearing etc. Do I sin less? Perhaps, but I am more aware of what sin really is...and that it's always there. Christianity is definitely a journey. |

Reps: 19,241 (power: 28) | | | You need to have an extra catagory such as, My sins are in remission sense Christ stepped into my heart and life. I can not say that I have stopped sinning as this would be a false statement. However sense I am on my 38th year as a Christian Christ has mine in remission.

Reps: 13 (power: 0) | | I'm not really sure about "sinning less" so I couldn't really vote. But as for the "life changed" aspect. Most definately. I'm not even the same person. I really disliked people in general, made fun of Christians, had a truly nasty attitude and never met anyone who could match me in sarcasm. That person is about as dead as she's ever gonna be now. I'm not even sure if "transformed" even does it justice. Jesus completely changed my life.
