It actually made me appreciate the Good News that this Four A Surfer, Randy Ziglar, earlier in '77 shared with me at Doheny Beach California. He had been my coach at Dana Hills High School. I turned, trusted Jesus in a simple prayer. Man, what a relief to find Jesus and have this meaningful Friendship!
It's SO dif now, for sure. Abundant life end eternal life..JOY..that doesn't merely start up later on up there. Wanna tell all my surfer buds and family members.
You know how all believers are called to go tactfully tell and respectfully point people to the Lord (the Ultimate Solution for anyone, whosoever will come). We are not recruiters, pushers or sales-personnel. Nope, the Gospel is still totally free in this age of grace. And none on earth can earn full righteousness or entrance into heaven one day. Forgiveness here, including a right standing and victorious walk with God was paid for by Jesus on the cross at Calvary.
We are witnesses of the living Christ, yes of this saving grace! Over 500 people saw Him after He came out of that borrowed tomb. And He can still save humans here ..on every level.. from the uttermost to the guttermost. Might sound kinda religious, but He ain't like that at all. Never has been.
You know what I mean, what it's about--regeneration into sanctification for growth and maturity. Born again Christian witnesses aren't called upon to be the Judge, a prosecutor or to prove stuff, they are to clearly represent the truth and their Lord daily. Yep, to accurately explain what they've seen and experienced. The Holy Spirit makes it easy for us. No lie (zero fake news), no spin, and no jive. ~ @kurtwVs
