This is so easy! I always thought that you had to live the perfect life and give up the worldly things I loved so much! I never realized how, after I asked Christ to come into my heart, that I wouldn't desire certain things like before! Sure, there will be things that are harder to give up than others, but it's a process. You don't change overnight. One step, then the next at a reasonable pace. If you need help, ask us to help you. Your flesh needs to die to the things of the world, and it's done one day at a time, this is called repenting (it means to turn away from). But the funny thing is, it gets easier in time as you walk with Christ and other TRUE Christians.
It's simply this; ask God to come into your heart. Simply believe his Son died on the cross for your sins and rose again in 3 days so that you could be reconciled to Him in order live eternally with Him. We will all live eternally, you just choose your destination.
Other things that will help:
Dual Citizenship
You've all heard of dual citizenship, perhaps not in this context, however. We are living IN this world, yet Christ says, we can't be OF this world. Sounds strange, doesn't it? Well, we have a dual citizenship, once you ask Christ into your heart, in heaven and on earth. Your thoughts, your actions, your desires all begin to change, to still live in the world but with new spiritual eyes and heart for heaven. You will learn to live by faith, not by sight. You will awaken your spirit, to begin a new and exciting journey. Rom 12:2, 1 Cor 2:10, 2 Cor 5:6-8,
