I'm confused about whether I'm a Christian now or if I'm ready to be soon.

[QUOTE="aiki, post: 73492840, member: 178791"] Being a Christian, a born-again child of God, is not a matter of propositions and concepts, it's about being in relationship - fellowship, actually - with one's Creator. When one is in such a relationship, one experiences a change in one's desires, in one's values, ethics, and morality, and in one's behaviour. My daily experience of God entails being convicted by Him of my sin, being illuminated by Him in my thinking about His truth, being comforted in times of trouble, being strengthened in times of temptation, and so on. With such an experience of God, I don't go about wondering if He exists, or fearing I'm delusional any more than I would doubt my wife exists or fear that I'm delusional for thinking she does. The answer to your problem isn't more facts about God. What you need is to know Him personally, to experience Him as He says you can. There is only one way this happens: On your knees in humble and sincere repentance from a life lived apart from Him, in humility submitting yourself entirely to His will and way, and in faith trusting in Christ as your Saviour and Lord. [B]John 14:6 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.[/B] [/QUOTE]
