What does it mean to repent? It means to have a complete change of mind. To turn away from your sin, and change your behavior.
What does the word believe mean? According to my study, believe translates to English from Greek as pisteuo. Pisteuo means to trust in, rely on, and adhere to.
When we accept Jesus Christ as our savior, we must put away our old self. Turn completely from our sin, and we trust, rely on, and adhere to good news (the Gospel).
Many will say it's hard to be a Christian in this day and age, but it isn't. Not if you seek God's will in your life, and allow His Holy Spirit to lead you. That doesn't mean you won't have trials, and temptations, because the enemy will most certainly attack where you are the most vulnerable, but the beauty of it is, Immanu'el (God is with us)! Sometimes He will carry us, and other times He will walk beside us. Either way, He helps us through it.
The short of it is...Ask Jesus to come into your heart. Turn from your sin. Love others as God has loved us. Can't get much simpler than that, can it?
