ARE YOU SURE?



When did you accept Christ as your Savior? I am almost 70 years old. In my time I have talked with many Christians. Most of them are sure of their Christianity. Most of them can tell you when they opened their heart to Jesus. They can name the time and place. They can tell you their age at the time of conversion. Some can tell about the time they were baptized. They can go into detail about the things they felt at that time. They can name the Preacher who brought them to Christ. They can tell you everything in detail. Some are not so sure. I talked with a man who was 65 years old. He said he was saved when he was 10 years old. He said he was Baptized on his birthday. He said he did not know if he understood what he was doing at that time. He had doubts. Maybe he was too young. He asked what I thought he should do. I told him I believed he needed to pray about it. Then if he was not sure he better make sure. Eternity is a long time. It is truly forever. If you want to spend eternity with God you must make sure you are a Christian. Jesus has prepared a place in Heaven for you. Are you sure?

I'm sure! October 19, 1976, I was 16. He healed and saved my life both spiritually and physically. This is a great post. God bless!

Well stated. Clear and gracious. I remember the process and the definite nature but can no longer remember the dates. Doubt? None. Jesus paid the price.

Grace and peace.

Forever unworthy, but very sure.

It was springtime in 1985, I was 20. Reverend Herrington and his wife led me through the sinner's prayer, but it was not until one and a half yrs. later that the Holy Spirit wiped away all doubt..Never doubted Him again..Jesus paid the price for my sins!
~God Bless~

I passed from death to life in October 2003. I am certain I have eternal life through Christ Jesus. For those who are not sure, call out to Jesus and make sure. You are right, eternity is a long time.
Blessings,
Ken
