Subject: Does Christ come into our hearts? |
Bible Note: Greetings Brother! You bring up a great point!!! I fear we all have been touched by some of the terminology spouted in Christian circles over time which does indeed tend to change not only meaning but also possibly understanding. I find it an area of concern in that we need to gently and lovingly explain (which I think you did a fine job of by the way!). But I have seen how this can go to the extreme in the other direction as well as some will so misunderstand another they will apply their own meaning to what someone else says. Jesus is indeed Lord and it is a blessing from God Himself that we come to that understanding! Understanding and acknowledging that seems to me to make the surrender oh so sweet! God bless, Steve |
