New Georgia Baptist, Birmingham
On a Thursday night in March 1965, I attended revival services at my local church. Having already been introduced to the good news of Jesus and feeling the conviction of the Holy Spirit, I came forward during the time of invitation and publicly confessed Jesus as my Savior.
I truly feel that I was saved even before I “came forward,” but that decision gave me a peace with God that has never gone away, has never been doubted and has only grown more real each year.
My salvation as an 11-year-old boy was simple. I believed that Jesus was God’s Son. I believed that He died for me and three days later, He was raised from the dead. I asked Him to save me and He did.
At that young age, I did not understand the truth of the cross as I do now but I did believe it, and that is what God requires — belief and trust.
Since I know Jesus as my personal Savior, my desire is that you know Him as your Savior. If you will admit that you are a sinner, believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross for you and confess with your mouth that He has been raised from the dead, then you will be saved.
Then you will know peace with God, and the fear of death and hell will be gone forever. May you trust Jesus today.
