True believers have all different stories, we all have different testimonies, we all had different reasons how we came about in knowing the Lord BUT when you ask each one of us... When you survey among true Christians, questioned each one of us when the real changed began in our lives we only have ONE answer.
Everything in our lives changed when we accepted, surrendered our ALL to Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
We did it, the Christians before us did it, the New Testament people did it, the Apostles did it! If so many of us, believers from the past to the present -- all of us did it, do you think there is another way to be saved and be alive? If all of us have done it, what is it that is stopping you from doing it?
On my previous post, I already shared to you that it is a gift to all of us that Jesus died in the cross and all you have to do is to accept that He is your Lord and Savior. Wala yung kinaibahan sa binigyan ka ng birthday gift ng isang friend, pagbinigyan ka inaaccept mo na lang indi mo tinatanong kung magkano para bayaran mo yung kaibigan for the gift he gave to you. Because it is a gift therefore it is for free! So do not be misled to the teachings of others na kailangan mong magpakabait or mag-iba ng ugali before you accept Him. That is not His will.
Maybe you are scratching your head right now and saying, ang labo naman non? Or it sounds too easy, parang indi naman kapani-paniwala yan! Paano naman kse sanay tayo sa mundong paraan na for you to have something you have to work for it or earn it. Pero si God indi Sya ganon, His wisdom is beyond the puny little brain that we have. So kung matalino ka sa iniisip mo, I'm pretty sure may mga nauna ring nabuhay before you na mas matalino pa sayo pero indi makuha iyong truth about Jesus. I am not surprise. Because the bible says,
1 Corinthians, Chapter 1
18The message about the cross doesn't make any sense to lost people. But for those of us who are being saved, it is God's power at work. 19As God says in the Scriptures, "I will destroy the wisdom of all who claim to be wise. I will confuse those who think they know so much."
21God was wise and decided not to let the people of this world use their wisdom to learn about him. Instead, God chose to save only those who believe the foolish message we preach.
I'm telling you right now, head knowledge about Jesus - that He is God, He is the Savior, He can can do all impossible things -- knowing these in your head does not mean anything. Nothing at all if you do not entrust yourself and have a relationship with Him. That is why we have faith. Faith in Jesus is believing in Him, giving your all without holding back kahit hindi mo alam kung anong mangyayari sa buhay mo after you surrender. It is believing in His power without any hesitation that He is an amazing God na hinding hindi ka Nya papabayaan. He will not forsake you, this is His promise.
If you truly want to have this encounter in your life, for you to understand His wisdom the bible says in 1 Corinthians Chapter 2
10God's Spirit has shown you everything. His Spirit finds out everything, even what is deep in the mind of God. 11You are the only one who knows what is in your own mind, and God's Spirit is the only one who knows what is in God's mind. 12But God has given us his Spirit. That's why we don't think the same way that the people of this world think. That's also why we can recognize the blessings that God has given us.
Pray that God will be merciful to you that He will give you the Holy Spirit because it is only through it that you would have understanding. That your problems can be solved just by accepting Jesus. He is the one who will work out every gusot that you have in your life. No actions needed on your part other than surrendering.
