What convinced you Christians out there to believe in and accept Jesus Christ as your savior? Just wondering.
Hi XChristian,
I was thinking alot about your question and hope I do it justice.
When people make Jesus Lord of their life. It means that you have seen yourself as you really are and you have asked Jesus to be the boss of your life.
I'm of simplistic mind and do not care for 'religion' and by that I mean rules, bylaws, and fetters of mankind, but I only want Truth.
God is Truth. He is 1+1=2. He is everything that is real and true.
Every person believes something and there is no such thing as a person with 'no' faith. We believe the garbage man will show up and pick up our trash....even that is a belief
.
The question is, what do you believe? Then whatever you act on and move from is your faith.
Sin....is wrong thinking acted on. For example, pride is man esteeming himself as God, ultimate truth. But he isn't, so if he follows himself and his misplaced thinking, he is like a man in a small boat adrift on the sea of his mind.
God is pure Knowledge. This was why King David in the bible loved to meditate on Him. God was showing David His mind. God is pure wisdom, not religion.
When you give your life to God and you ask Him to guide you the rest of your life, and you lay your own ways down at His feet as you are shown the correct way to go by Him, then you will know salvation.
Humility is the path to God.
I believe in Him, because He lives in me and because he loves me more than His own life.
Blessings,
Angel Of Fire
