Subject: How to explain Jesus' exclusive claim? |
Bible Note: Most definitely! In answer to your question, my journey to faith in Christ came like this: Looking for love in all the wrong places. Self-destructive behavior. Isolation. Using others. Spiritual emptiness, dispair. Increasing Awe at God's glory as revealed in His Creation. No way could it all be by chance. Invitation by a Christian to get right with God. Christian education, including reading "More than a Carpenter" by Josh McDowell. Acceptance of the evidence and conclusion that Christ's resurrection is real, historical fact. Understanding what His Resurrection says about who He is. Conviction by the Holy Spirit that fundamentally, I am depraved, helpless and deserve death, and yet, God already did that in my place. Letting go of my sin, turning to God. Accepting God's forgiveness, endeavoring to "go and sin no more" and obey His commands to "love God" and "love others". AMEN! |
