The moment of salvation is the most important time in any day, any year, for any person.
This special time is different for each of us because it IS special. This time has been designed especially for you, by the One who made you. He knew exactly what it would take to produce surrender, since this is exactly what the Christian life is.
Some were young and had child like faith as they trusted God to be their Lord and Savior.
Others were in their teens, and by some chance were lead to a revival or youth retreat that changed their lives forever.
Then their were some whom it took a divorce or maybe even a death or illness to wake you up and get you to your “surrender point.”
Some were addicted to drugs and both physically and mentally captured by this beast known as “fun”….Until the fun stopped and the consequences rolled in, bringing you to the bottom so you would finally LOOK UP!!
Then their are those who struggled their entire life, and at the moment of death FINALLY surrendered, right before meeting Jesus.
Although God does allow us to have consequences, He doesn’t produce evil.
BUT He does use it for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose!!
Any time you meet Jesus, it is a special day.
No matter how you get there….Running, walking, jogging, or even crawling!!
It’s your special day.
Any time we come, He will accept us with open arms, but we MUST surrender to new life.
2 Corinthians 5:17~Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
The only way to have new life in Christ, is to let Him have YOUR LIFE.
The good, the bad, the embarrassing, the hidden, the so called fun, the pride….ALL the things that we think we can’t live without… but aren’t “really living” with!
These strongholds in our lives keep us from the life He planned for us, but can all be released if surrendered.
That’s the key.
We must let go and let God lead us.
Without this change, there’s no evidence of new life in us and Jesus can’t shine through a life full of sin.
You see, we as Christians are called to be ambassadors, not adulterers.
We are called to be conquerors, not live in consequences!
We are chosen, not someones last choice!
We CAN resist, not reduce ourselves to our temptations!
IF, AND ONLY IF, WE SIMPLY SURRENDER….
Everything.
Starting with our hearts, then releasing every part of who we are to the only One who can change us.
If you do not know a specific time and place where you experienced a life changing moment, where Jesus moved in and you surrendered, the time is now.
Right this very second.
Even if you think you were saved, but have never experienced a “new life” change and never fully surrendered….IT’S JUST THE RIGHT TIME!!
RIGHT NOW!!
IT’S YOUR MOMENT!!!
He wants to help you, all you have to do is ask.
2 Corinthians 6:2~For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation I helped you.” Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day of salvation.
