Someone posted me a question. How would I know that the day I accepted Christ is the day that I do it because of realising that Christ impacted me and not because some other reason like I fear to go Hell?

Is he a Christian? Would he still go to heaven?

I think that should not be the question. For we know he will if it continue to impact him. God would recieve him.

The question we should ask is...how long would he keep that belief? How long more before it does not impact him anymore.

There is only 1 reason that will impact us forever.

Only one.

That we feel privellege that Christ die for me and that I would not trade anything for it.

Such Conviction only can come from someone who understand what it means to be helpless, hopeless in their sins, and all they can see is their humility to Christ. Who then can give us such feeling and understanding?

God is the one. For only he can open our mind, and see him as the one.

And God do it by his Holy spirit, touching us. And there is no reason why he do it to you.

Nothing. It is when we realise that there is nothing we can do, that we got desperate. This desperation would draw us to pray for his holy spirit, that he might touch us with His holy Spirit. He might....yes he might not. Thats why we are desperate to pray for his touch.

It is not going to be just knowledge but experience too, that God will use to touch us. He will send environment to mold us.

Actually, we are more interested in the question...Then what about me? What category do I come under?

We must ask the question of what is the sign of a Christian?

In James Chapter 1. he mentioned of what is the true religion.

1. Do I love the people around me that I want to share God's love?
2. Do I love the people around me but not with me that I want to share God's love?
3. Do I love God enough that I will not follow those around me but not with me yet wanting them to know of God's love?

Simple 3 thing, but tough to do. In fact with all this 3 things come another 3 things.

1. That we do it when people we know ask us to.
2. That we do it when the world expect us to.
3. That we do it when no one is seeing.

Definitely, we will fail either one of it. We will struggle.

So the sign of being a Christian, is not doing those that I mentioned, but to struggle with those that I mentioned.

What are the reason that make you accept Christ would make you struggle these things for the rest of your life? Only the one real reason, that we feel previllege that Christ die for us, and that we would not trade anything for this salvation.

As for the trading part....that would be another story.
