Becoming A Christian

When did you become a Christian? How did your life change?

I remember going to the altar to get saved....possibly I was 6. However, my reason for doing that certainly was not because I realized I needed to be forgiven for my sinful ways. My mother had not let me participate in a communion service because I did not have Jesus in my heart yet. I was determined that the next time they served communion I was going to get some!!!! It was the following year during Vacation Bible School that I discovered that I was a sinner(boy, was I!) and that I needed to confess that to God and receive His forgiveness! I was a "me first" kind of person. After having Christ in my life I started to see other people's needs. I was still immature in that knowledge, but God has continued to mold me and I believe I have become more Christ Like across the years...but I still have some growing to do!!!!!
