1. If you were to stand before God and He were to ask you, “Why should I allow you to enter heaven,” what would you say?
Because I have trusted in your Son, Jesus Christ, and Him alone to get me here. I have nothing else to offer but His shed blood on my behalf.
I grew up in a Christian home. My father is an ordained minister and therefore I have always been in church and around the teaching of the gospel there and at home. My profession of faith and baptism came at the age of 12, but the gospel became a reality to me more after college when I truly understood what faith and repentance meant and that Christ was more than just my ‘Savior’. He was my Lord and Master and that actually meant something. Rather than look to a date in the past for assurance or evidence of my salvation, the Spirit’s active work in the present is where real assurance comes from.
2. How does your relationship with Jesus affect your life?
I don’t despair. I know that He works everything to my benefit even though in trials it often doesn’t feel like it. His word makes sense to me and I have an increasing desire to know him more and more. I can look back over my life and see His fingerprints everywhere.
