Becoming a Christian is a leap in the dark. Before you jump you don't know what you're going to find. You may have a had a group of Christians telling you what it's like, you may have read the Bible by yourself and been so impressed by the words of Jesus that you decide you want to follow him, but until you make that choice, that leap of faith, you will never know for sure. If you've ever watched “The Matrix”, then you'll know what I mean when I say it's a bit like taking the red pill.
Jesus describes it best when he talks about spiritual rebirth, a fresh start. A line is drawn between the past and future, and no matter who you were or what you did, the possibilities for tomorrow are limitless. You see the world with new eyes, as it really is, and you are given access to the most powerful resources available to fulfil your full potential as a human being. But there's more, you suddenly engage in a relationship with the ultimate being we call God. If you open your heart fully, you experience love so powerful you feel it's impossible to contain it. Lastly you are given a promise of eternal life where there are no more tears and only love.
