JUST TO AGREE INTELLECTUALLY THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD AND THAT HE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS IS NOT ENOUGH. NOR IS IT ENOUGH TO HAVE AN EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE. WE RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST BY FAITH, AS AN ACT OF THE WILL. YOU CAN RECEIVE CHRIST RIGHT NOW BY FAITH THROUGH PRAYER “LORD JESUS, I NEED YOU. THANK YOU FOR DYING ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS. I OPEN THE DOOR OF MY LIFE AND RECEIVE YOU AS MY SAVIOR AND LORD. THANK YOU FOR FORGIVING MY SINS AND GIVING ME ETERNAL LIFE. TAKE CONTROL OF THE THRONE OF MY LIFE. MAKE ME THE KIND OF PERSON YOU WANT ME TO BE”. SEE YOU NEXT WEEK
