So, here I am again talking about decisions. I really want to focus on deciding for Jesus. Over the years, I have watched people who said they have decided to follow Jesus. Truly, they did make that decision. However, sometimes in a matter of weeks or years, they are back in the same position they were when they made that decision. So, my question is why? They were sincere in their decision. They even confessed it. They said they believed in their heart and confessed with their mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. But here they are, back in the clubs. Drinking, smoking dope, lying ,cheating, messing around on their spouses. etc.
What is going on? They made a decision.!
Yes, they made a decision. But a decision is not the same as doing. You can look at my previous blog about decisions regarding the frogs. You see, a decision is made with the mind; a commitment is made with the heart. Unless a person is truly committed to following Jesus, they won't do it. That means, unless a person is willing to do whatever it takes to follow Jesus, they won't. And if they try to do it on their own efforts, they not only won't , they can't......They need the Helper Jesus said He would send. That helper is The Holy Spirit.........
