We have sung a song with these words in it. We have heard this in sermons if we have attended church, especially a Bible-teaching church. Jesus doesn’t track you down or stalk you, He does wait for you to open the door to your heart. God loves you but if you haven’t given your heart to Jesus and allowed Him to come in and change your life, you are following the devil and his demons. You may not know it, but the difference is clearly black and white. There is no gray area that you can straddle between the two. Life is similar to a fence or a tight rope, you are either on one side or the other. Walking on either is a dangerous prospect.
God knows you and He knows when His call to your heart went out. Either at a sermon or when you heard a Christian song or even when someone tells you their testimony. All of these usually points toward Jesus Christ. He came into this world to save those who were lost. His death and resurrection proved that He completed the task of paying for our sins. All we have to do is accept and believe in Him for our salvation, then allow the Holy Spirit to change our hearts and follow Him for the rest of our lives. It sounds hard but it really isn’t. After you have given your heart to Jesus, get a Bible and read the book of John in the New Testament. Then, read the book of Romans. Both of these books will give you a complete picture of Who Jesus was and why He came. Romans will help you see how to live your life for Him.
What’s a moment when you realized you were officially an adult?
That was the beginning of my journey into adulthood. Then came the bills and some other stuff. Regardless, it took more time than I thought it would. By the time I felt like I was an adult, it had taken nearly ten years.
Now, I’m about to turn 65 and I’m finally grown up.
Even the enemies that we hear about on the news every day? Yes! Especially them. Why? Because, they are part of His Creation and God loves everyone, He just doesn’t love the sinful ways that some of His children live. Persecution is happening in America today. It isn’t as bad as it is overseas but it is present in places. Pray for those you love and for those who don’t speak well of you. Life is too short to be mean to each other.
God loves you and He sent Jesus to prepare the way for you to have a way into heaven. Seek Him while there is time.
