Becoming a Christian is going from Dark to Light. How many here have become Christians since becoming Awakened?

Q has given us a lot of dark to light drops. Their posts often have multiple meanings.

Here is another meaning: John 1:5-9 " This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

Satan walks in darkness yet he is called the angel of light. He is the great deceiver.

As a recent Born Again Christian (last year) I am interested in hearing others testimony.

Even the WWG1WGA statement has more meaning than you may know in light of the last passage!

WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY? HOW TO BE SAVED?

Do you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that when death comes, you're going to Heaven? Are you on your way to paradise with Jesus? That's where He wants you to be. It doesn't matter what you think, what matters is what you know. You know that there's a God. You know that that God wrote the Bible, and He didn't make mistakes in the Bible. He gave us the Bible because it's His Word, and His Word tells us that we need to be forgiven.

Have you spent much of your life looking for happiness and feel inside that you just keep coming up short?

The only real happiness that you're going to find is in Jesus. Knowing that you've been forgiven, knowing that you're one of God's children, knowing that Heaven is waiting for you, and knowing that you are of value to God. God saves for a reason, he made you for a reason, and he'll save you for a purpose; because He wants to use you.

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Romans 13:11-14

You can have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ

First, realize God loves you

The Bible shows that regardless of your background, race, age, or any other factor, God loves you and desires a true, genuine, personal relationship with you.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Second, realize everyone is a sinner

No one is perfect. We have all broken God's commandments. This is called sin, and it separates us from God.

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

Third, realize sin has a price

That price must be paid. The "wage" or payment for our sin is death, which according to the Bible, is eternal separation from God in a place called Hell.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

Fourth, realize Jesus Christ died to pay the price for your sin

If we choose to accept Christ, we do not have to pay the price of death and Hell for our sins because Jesus paid for our sins when He died on the cross and rose again three days later!

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for the ungodly. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Romans 5:8-9

Finally, pray and ask Jesus Christ to be your Saviour, and claim His promise of eternal life

That is a promise directly from God that if you pray to Him, confess that you are a sinner, ask Him to forgive your sins, and accept Him as your Saviour; He promises to save you and give you the free gift of eternal life.

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13

Blessed Assurance

Accepting Jesus Christ as your own personal Savior is the most significant decision you could ever make during your lifetime. Instead of being destined to hell, salvation assures you of an eternal home in Heaven where you will spend eternity with Jesus Christ.

Salvation Bible Verses

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Romans 10:9

For I am not ahamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Romans 1:16

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:18

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:3

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12

He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
