Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
Making the decision to accept Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord was a life-changing experience for me. It transformed my life in ways I could never have imagined. Before that moment, I felt lost, unsure of my purpose in life, and felt like I was just going through the motions. However, when I made the decision to accept Jesus, my life was forever changed.
One of the most important reasons I decided to accept Jesus was because I realized that I couldn’t do life alone. I was in need of a Savior who could guide me through the trials and tribulations of life. The Bible says in John 14:6, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” This verse reminded me that Jesus is the only way to salvation and that without him, I would be lost.
Another reason I decided to accept Jesus was because of his unconditional love. The Bible says in Romans 5:8, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” This verse showed me that Jesus loved me despite my flaws and mistakes. It reminded me that his love is not based on my performance or what I could do for him, but on his own character.
Accepting Jesus as my Savior also gave me hope for the future. The Bible says in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This verse reminded me that God has a purpose for my life and that he has good things in store for me.
Since accepting Jesus as my Savior and Lord, my life has been transformed in many ways. I have a peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and a joy that comes from knowing that I am loved unconditionally by my Heavenly Father (1 John 3:1). I have a new sense of purpose and direction, knowing that God has a plan for my life (Proverbs 3:5-6). Most importantly, I have the assurance of eternal life with God (John 3:16).
In conclusion, accepting Jesus as my Savior and Lord was the best decision I ever made. It has radically transformed my life for the better, giving me hope, purpose, and a sense of belonging. If you are struggling to find meaning in life or are feeling lost, I encourage you to consider accepting Jesus as your Savior and Lord. The Bible says in Romans 10:9, “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
