How Do You Come To Christ?
I believe that all who come to our Redeemer in saving faith do
so PERSONALLY. I wish that I could believe God for my family; but
unless a man in his own heart believes on Christ, he will perish. Those who
come to Christ will come SINCERELY. A man is not only persuaded that
Christ is the way, but in his heart, he lovingly and sincerely agrees with
God’s terms of salvation. “My son, give me thine heart” (Prov. 23:26). It is
the heart or nothing in this heavenly marriage. Also, those who come to
Christ do so RATIONALLY, in knowledge and understanding. They
know WHAT He saved them from–sin’s curse and condemnation. They
know WHO saved them–our Lord Jesus Christ, the God-man. They
know HOW He saved them–by His perfect obedience and precious blood.
They know WHY He saved them–”according to the good pleasure of His
own will” (grace, grace, and more grace). And those who come to Christ
come PERMANENTLY, with no intention of ever leaving Him; and, by
His grace, with no possibility of ever being forsaken by Him.
