What Do We Do When We Believe?

Believing in Jesus Christ is the greatest decision a person can ever make in his or her life.  In our early years as children we were safe.  Had we died in those early years we would have been taken to Paradise.  We would have then been adult people.  There are no babies in heaven.

But the time came in our boyhood or girlhood days when God held us accountable for the sins we commit.  After that, if we had died, we would have gone to hell.

But, the day came when, as a teenager or somewhere in our adult life, we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour.  And that simple decision changed our lives completely.  It turned us around.  Our old sins were dropped.  Cursing, lying, adultery, stealing, and all other sins; we turned loose of them.  Nothing else we have done has caused such a change.

We opened our Bibles and began reading it.  We started going to church.  We began seeking Christians as our friends.  We began understanding the Bible.  We understood what the Bible teacher or pastor said as they explained it.  We grew in knowledge and that knowledge changed our way of living.  We accepted positions in church.  Some of us became Bible teachers.  All of us were changed for the better.  And just because of the fact that we accepted Jesus as our Saviour.
