Born Again

God is moving powerfully amongst the youth of my home church, Sonrise Chapel. Last Wednesday, a young man was found by Jesus and responded by giving His heart to the King of kings. I love seeing how God draws people. This young man (about 12 or 13) came forward and said that, "I just want to try to be a better Christian and just try and get back into it." I was able to talk to Him about grace and what Jesus has done for us on the cross. It was cool to see him connect the dots that we don't need to try to be a good person to come to Jesus, but rather that we come to Jesus so that He makes us good, forgives our sin, awakens our spirit, and gives us a relationship with God. He's been to church but never confessed and believed Jesus. It was cool to be there as he placed his trust in Christ for salvation. I finding that many young people don't know what it means to be born again. I guess it's easy to assume that everyone has heard Billy Graham, the four spiritual laws, and had a dozen gospel tracts stuck in their hands. But it's not true! People still need to see the gospel demonstrated and the message preached. It's still the foolishness of the message preached that brings people to Jesus or Jesus to people or both.
