How to Become a Better Person and Become Closer to God

Last Updated: February 26, 2021 Approved

Do you have trouble becoming a better person, do you feel lost in this world? Do you feel like if you have someone to talk to you would feel better, and do you feel like you are alone? You have never been alone. God has always looked down upon you and kept you safe. Anyone can become a better person and become closer to God with these steps.

Steps

1
Put all of your differences aside and start with a new clean slate. This may be hard but you must do it. To become a better person you must do this step, because this is the most important step. If you don't accomplish this step you will get nowhere.
2
Ask for forgiveness. You have made enemies in you life, remember everybody does. If you have ever done anything hurtful to anyone or they think that you did something wrong, you must ask for forgiveness. Even if you think you haven't done anything wrong, just ask for forgiveness anyway. If someone doesn't forgive you then you must think to yourself that you did your part and be proud and move on.

3
Find God. The way you find God doesn't mean you have to go to church. You find God with not your mind but your heart. You see the only way you find God is if you ask him into your life, but you must be truthfully honest with this step because God knows if you're lying. Once you ask him into your life and accept him in your life then this is the big turning point in your life.
4
Acknowledge that God is your life. Once you've done that you can forget your past and look forward into your future and ask God to help you everyday. Now that you have God, this is the part where the Devil tries to get at you, because he doesn't want you to do good things he wants you to ignore God and do horrible things. This stage is always tough because you have to fight back and say no to the Devil. You must ask God to be with you more than ever during this part of your life.
5
Be aware that the hard part will be over. No one is perfect so you may still do some things wrong but here's the good part. You still have God and ask him to forgive you your sins and he will. Now doesn't that sound amazing? Make a decision to become a better person and accept God into your life or not.
