I’m going to ask you personal questions. Do you have a personal relationship with Christ? Have you asked Him to be your Savior and Lord?
I know that’s personal. Most don’t feel comfortable sharing personal information.
It has been almost 55 years since my personal relationship with Christ was made real and public. I was dating a young man who would later make me his bride. He brought up the subject of making Jesus my personal Savior.
To be honest, I was offended at first. I believed in God; I prayed.
I knew about Jesus and believed He died on the cross to save the world. I believed in His resurrection. Yet, there was no depth to my belief.
The truth was I did not know Him as ‘my’ personal Savior and Lord.
Jesus became personal to me after strong feelings of conviction. I knew I was guilty; I was a sinner.
“for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23 NKJV)
He forgave me of my sins.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9 NKJV)
Jesus saved me.
“For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13 NKJV)
I made a public commitment in church and shared my decision with my family and friends.
“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 10:32 NKJV)
It is personal and it’s the most important decision anyone will ever make.
“And Thomas answered and said to Him, ‘My Lord and my God.” (John 20:28 NKJV)
