All believers also can share about the time they came to receive life in Jesus Christ. You may not remember the exact day or what you were wearing. That isn't what is most important. The most important aspect is remembering the time that we, by faith, trusted in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Unless we can remember the time we surrendered to Him, our story isn't much of a redemption story. We are saved by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. We must share that we came to receive life, abundant life and eternal life in Jesus.
Finally, we as Christians can share about life since following Jesus Christ. Jesus changes our lives. He directs our pursuits and passions. Even though being a Christian does not guarantee an easy life (in fact we know we will have trouble and persecution), when we follow Jesus He sustains and strengthens us in time of trouble. He provides for our needs. He comforts our hearts. He directs our steps. Those who follow Jesus can point to His continual activity and work in our lives. This is an important part to our story.
If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you have a story. Your story is a unique and powerful way to communicate the wonderful love and redemption in Jesus Christ. People love to hear stories and you have one of the greatest stories that can ever be told. Are you ready to share? Read Acts 22 and Acts 26 for two accounts of Paul sharing his story.

I love this blog because these days there are so many acts against christ. People are forgetting that we are "aliens" on this world. That there is something greater than money,fame,etc. And that amazing thing is God. And going to Heaven is the "end goal." I am follower of chirst...I have been for as long as I could remember. And I am a born again chirstian. My life with chirst is amazing...I never feel alone. I know he answers my prayers...and prayers in general. I am also a teenager..and have met so many kids,and even grown ups who don't follow christ...just because bad things have happend to them...they always say "if god was the real deal...then hy is he letting bad things happend to me and my family???" And I say because God has a plan for everyone, we may not agree with it...but it's going to happen for a reason. Another thing people have to remember is that God gave us free-will...meaning we have a choice to follow him or not. He's not making us do anything...he wants us to make the right choice. There is God and there is Satin. satin is the reason why there is evil in this world...he wants us to make the wrong choices, he tries to tempt you to do evil. Like the snake in Adam and Eve. keep up the great work and spread the word of christ.

Thank you for challenging our faith, great blog. There are so many today that are not sound in Biblical teaching and so many attacks from anti-Christians ... we need to put it all in perspective.

Can I just say, "AMEN!"? I've grown up up a very solid Christian home. I thought I was saved at 7, but realized February of 2011 that I was not. Christ redeemed my soul at 11:30 PM on February 5th. I know I am saved now because God has put Himself inside me and started to mold me into His character. This is my story, and I praise Him for giving it to me!
nice blog...

Very well said! The day I received salvation in Jesus Christ changed my life. I used to be depressed, and living a life full of sin and enjoying it. But one early afternoon in the beginning of March, I saw a video that made me realize. I was just hit with the realization of Jesus and I felt Him around me. The Holy Spirit engulfed me and I cried out for forgiveness and His grace and love. And I got it, and am forever thankful that He heard my cry and blessed me so greatly. My life has changed and I know now how truly lost I was without my Saviour. Praise You, Lord Jesus Christ! God bless all you guys, brothers and sisters in Christ! :)
Nice blog. Well written, well designed.Keep it up
I have been a Christian for years, but as of late I have been feeling disillusioned. St Paul was very much about controlling women and keeping them in their place. I find this aspect and his influence not appealing to my nature- which as God created me- I value equality.
