Tasks From God

[evander]

HI TO ALL FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN CHRIST.
I AM BUSY WRITING A BOOK AND WOULD APPRECIATE INSIGHT ON THE FOLLOWING,
"WHAT PERSONAL PERSONALITY CHANGES OCCUR WHEN YOU ACCEPTED CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOUR?"
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME IF YOU WISH TO DO SO-

MY GOD BLESS YOU

For me, the answer is that everything changed. Completely. The person that I was before I met Jesus is completely different from the person that I am today and the difference is so large that it's tough for me to understand how I lived that previous life for so long.

Ultimately, though, the biggest change is simply my attitude towards other people. In my old life I was almost a total loner. I intensely disliked being around other people and avoided them whenever I could. I particularly steered clear of parties and any other situations where there were big crowds because I simply was unable to mesh with a group of people who were having fun like that. Nowadays I am much more a people person; perhaps I'm not quite what you'd call a social butterfly, but I at least have a normal social life.

The second biggest change would be dealing with anger. In my old life I was an extremely angry person. I was furious for a large percentage of my waking life and when something bad happened I would spend months stewing about it and fantasizing about the sorts of revenge I would like to take. Nowadays that's mostly evaporated. I can't say that I never get angry, but it's certainly much less than what it used to be.

God bless you, I can testify to those changes myself. When I saw my sin for what it was for the very first time I was struck to the heart, I could not believe that I lived that way and used to be such an angry aggressive person.

Now im as gentle as I know how to be and for the first time ever I can turn the other cheek. Its all because of you Jesus, all because of you!

I don't worry about things because I give my burdens to Christ. Have a more controlled and quiet spirit and watch my mouth-think much more before I talk.

 

[Dan7]

Doesn't the Bible talk about core spiritual personality changes? Or is this irrelevant?

I used to be quite introverted and shy, Christ liberated me and I am now a bold professor of Love. Also I was consumed by lust before - mostly inclined toward men in thought and fantasy but not really impressed by the real thing.. I also held grudges toward women because I couldn't identify with the differences. That is changing more and more and more with each thought and day and it was a miraculous conversion that I didn't expect to happen nor did I even hope for. Another thing I noticed is that I can't feel dislike toward everything and wherever I go I see joy in others - in a way I think my conversion extinguished evil in the world around me. It is as though Christ's spirit invokes peace in every direction I look! I think when you hand your life to Christ your whole world becomes alive. The only downside I perceive is the patience required while I wait for Jesus to return, but that isn't negative because I see the meantime like a playground where I can gain pleasure by going about the Father's business and sharing the gifts I have been given.
