Understanding the decision for Christ!

“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5

What does a genuine decision for Christ look like? No one can answer this question except for Jesus who knows you better than you know yourself. 

Jesus has been working with human beings for thousands of years and knows the perfect pathway to lead you into the Kingdom of God.

Accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior is not an intellectual or emotional decision. 

It is a decision from the heart to live for Jesus above all else. Unfortunately, most people don’t understand the complexity of this decision. 

It is an experience of transformation from your natural condition at birth to a new person. 

This happens through the Water and the Spirit. The Water cleanses you from all sin and you become clean in the eyes of God. The Spirit baptizes you into the life of Christ. This is the process of regeneration into a new creature in Christ Jesus.

This metamorphosis causes you to die to self and become transformed into the life of Christ. This takes many years and God will orchestrate many challenges in your life to get your attention and teach you how to walk with Him.

At times, you will experience pain and suffering as God deals with your ego, selfish lifestyle and compulsive behaviors. 

The obstacles to the new life are stubbornness and rebellion against God. The ways of God cannot be grasped through human logic. It seems almost impossible to meet the harsh standards of God.

You can solidify your decision for Christ simply by believing in His promises. 

This is a lifestyle of unyielding faith dealing with all the diverse challenges facing you. 

When life becomes hopeless and bleak staunchly walk in oneness with Jesus believing He will deliver you and fulfill all His promises. 

Without faith it is impossible to please God!
