Testimony
Today I heard the sweet, sincere testimony of a middle-aged women who was baptised for the first time and joined our church. The verse that *spoke* to her was Romans 10:9
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
She'd heard the gospel before, she said, since her father was a Baptist minister, and she'd bowed her head and *said the prayer* when she a teen, but at this time in her life, the hearing of the Word was different. And she knew she had to talk about it. She knew she had to open her mouth and be accountable.
That, dear readers, is faith in action. Praise the Lord!
Second week in a row...I wish I was at church with you!
ReplyDeleteGod is good.
I always find it remarkable when those who have heard the Truth their whole lives...don't really hear it.
It is a reminder how one must rely on The Holy Spirit.
