Not everyone will heed His call. He stands outside the door and knocks, but the handle to open that door is on the inside, and the person within is the only one who can open the door. Once opened, that same person must invite Him in, realize they are a sinner, repent, and ask Him to live in their heart.
Salvation complete! The new believer is born again, redeemed, and justified. God will never let them go! They belong to Him and will be in heaven eternally. Glory to God. Hallelujah. But the work is just beginning…
Now the new believer must make the second important choice—that of living their life for Christ. It begins here. The new believer has entered the race.
Will they run it?
How will they run it?
It’s up to them.
Read Acts 17:11
Chuck Missler claimed this as his favorite verse—constantly encouraging his audiences to hear him out—no matter how strange or difficult the topic, and then dig into the Scriptures to see if what he claimed was true. Nancy does the same, and every believer should behave thus. God wants you to listen and learn, but ALWAYS be like the Bereans, and check it out for yourself!
Amen!
I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
