Are you ready for an encounter with God ?
When I was first Born Again in 1979 I joined a Church
where my friends attended.
This particular Church had a lot of American Evangelists preaching
on a regular basis. Because of this there were a lot of altar calls for
repentance of sin.
To my consternation at the time,
my friends were going down to the front altar
at almost every Service to repent of the same sins.
Being a new Christian ,
and with almost no understanding of evangelical theology,
I asked my friends why they were doing this .
I knew that their lifestyles had changed radically,
and that they were no longer committing the sins
that they were continuously repenting over.
Their answers perplexed me at the time,
" I feel guilty about the things that I used to do",
" Everyone else is repenting every Sunday , so me too ",
" I don't know, the preaching makes me feel like I'm a sinner,
so I go down to repent . "
As this went on for months,
I became increasingly concerned,
as the Holy Spirit was showing me that something wasn't right.
When I became Born Again,
I knew that I had been set free from the Power of Sin,
and that I now had a new nature,
an entirely new identity in Christ.
I had already previously tried every other religious method,
to try to heal myself of a problem that I had got on a bad LSD Trip.
In Christ I was healed of this condition,
and I knew that I didn't have to repent of drug taking every Sunday,
because I was completely severed from it's hold over me.
To answer the Question,
" Are you right with God ? ",
we will examine very closely
The Book of Romans in the next Part of this Series,
for the answer is clear as daylight in Romans !
