I let Christ into my heart and continued living my life, but it wasn't until sometime later that I realized I hadn't surrendered my life to Jesus. I had accepted Jesus as my Savior, but continued to try to live my life my way. In college, a friend showed me a diagram of a chair, or throne. In the chair was my name, and Christ was on the outside. At that moment, I gave Christ total control of my life.
Salvation is a free gift.
There is nothing I did to earn it. It did have a price. Christ's trial and crucifixion. The Bible says that there are only two things that will last forever. The Word of God 2.
