Do I have to give up my lifestyle in order to be a true Christian following Jesus?

The Bible said: Come out from among them and be thou separate says the Lord. After coming to Christ, we don’t become perfect people but through prayer and reading of God’s word you can increase your faith. It is a process of growing and becoming stronger in Christ. If you want it to happen, it can with much prayer and meditating on the word of God. You will need to turn away from negative and sinful things. stay away from some places you use to go. This also may include giving up a job or career which conflicts with your new Christian belief and desired lifestyle. You must now trust God that he will provide a better way for you to earn a living. While still loving and praying for them, there maybe some friends, or even some family members that you may have to separate yourself from their activities and lifestyles. whenever possible, fellowship with other Christians for encouragement and prayer. The Bible said we must not be conformed to this world but we must be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We must let our light shine, as we embrace our new lifestyle in Jesus Christ. When we become saved we have buried the old man of sin, becoming a new person in Jesus Christ. The light that that he placed upon you must shine in the darkness of this world. As a Christian you must shine in the darkness lighting a path for those who will come to follow Jesus. (see scripture) 2nd Corinthians 6:17, 1st Peter 1:16, Romans 12:2, 1st Corinthians 6:11, Matthew 5:16, Romans 12:2.
