Misunderstanding (John 8:32) (John 14:6)
Misunderstanding
I hear from a few people that are not of the Christian
faith accusing us Christians of forcing them in our faith. I am sure what they mean is that they feel
convicted by the Holy Spirit.
Let us be clear on that. If you feel convicted by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour and are sorry for your sins, then moving on the next step and becoming a Christian is the way to go. Believe me, it’s like moving from homeless to being set free from all bondage and heavy loads and hurts. It is God freeing you and it is wonderful to have a relationship like that. To illustrated: Salvation is moving from a lonely place to a place where you have one relationship that lasts and is satisfying to its fullest if you obey God.
Before I became a Christian, I was always angry and hateful at myself and others but the very day I became a Christian on March 21, 1979, I was a changed man, and I sang songs to God without anyone telling me to do it and was given a French New Testament and I read the whole thing over a weekend. I was hungry for Truth, and I knew I had it. I was empty for so long but now I was full. I knew also that this would change me.

comes to the Father except through me.”
