Отрывок из книги
It may seem strange to begin this book with this question, but it fit into the basic theme of this book with the question of why? Most sincere Christians are drowning with questions that begin with the word why. Such as, Why did God give his Holy Spirit to everyone of his children? What motivates you to live a life pleasing to God? Why are you walking the straight and narrow and why are you so willing to follow Jesus where ever he takes you? My hope is that you will learn why by the time you finish reading this book.
I think you will find this book to be informative as some of the topics are only briefly discussed in every church. The Bible is packed full of information and it is easy to overlook some of the things that show how God works in your life to build you into the image of Christ. In the last thirty years of my Christian experience I have found no one thinks alike and what one hears depends on who you are listing too.

To complete our salvation and to become a member of God's household, a child of God and fellow citizens with God's people we have to pledge our allegiance to Christ Jesus. Saying the words Jesus is Lord with truth can only be said under the influence of the Holy Spirit. To review this process according to Romans 10:9-10 when we believe we are marked in Christ with the seal of the Spirit who in turn enables us to pledge our life with then words Jesus Is Lord.
Throughout your lifetime you will see many come to the altar to give their lives to Christ. Of those who fall back into a life of sin how many of them can you remember hearing them committing their lives to Jesus Christ as their Lord? This confession is not demanded from the person repenting. Each person must pledge their allegiance to Jesus Christ of their free will. On the other hand, lets understand many give the appearance of being saved when they are not willing to commit their life to God.
