“Do you want to change your direction in life?”

What a good question! I like to answer questions like that. But if you ask me that question right now, my answer is: “NO!”

(I find the above question on an advertisement of the Kaitaia Advance Training Centre.)

But the fact is that all of us must change direction in life.

Why?

Because from the time we are born, we are going into the wrong direction. We are on our way to hell.

In order to go into the right direction we must make a U-turn. When we are doing that, we are on our way to heaven.

We must turn from Sin to God. We must turn from Sin to God and serve Him. That is called repentance. What does repentance consist of?

The New Bible Dictionary (Inter Varsity Fellowship) teaches me that repentance consists of the following radical transformation:

1. thought,

2. attitude,

3. outlook,

4. direction.

The reason why my answer to the question “Do you want to change your direction in life?” is No is this:

I changed the direction in  my life more than 50 years ago and served the Lord from that time.
