| Introduction | I really believed I was a nice enough guy and that God was my pal. When asked “is that actually true, or does it just make your life easier?” I realised I had completely made God up in my own head, and had no idea what He was actually like. Convicted of my sin I longed to come under the cover of the Lord and Saviour who died for all mankind, yet I could not because I still had doubts. Surely to say I believed in Jesus when I had even the smallest doubt would be to lie to God? On Good Friday 2005 I heard what I had been waiting for for the better part of a year: “faith... isn't a feeling, no-one else can tell you you believe, it's not a test you can take or a certificate you can earn. Faith is what you choose to place your trust in...” These words from Pastor John Brown of soon-to-be Calvary Chapel Norwich were music to my ears. I could choose. And if for a moment I could lay aside my doubts, my questions, my reservations, even for a moment only, and choose what I wanted, it was indeed to call the only Begotten Son of God, God manifest in the flesh - Jesus Christ - my Lord and Saviour, to wash away all the sins that I would never be able to put right, and to rule over my life. |
