The Bible says that all who follow Jesus must be prepared to suffer like He did (Mark 8:34-35). How many of us are in touch with this sobering reality when we supposedly choose Christ?
I suspect that most people choose Christ because they don't want to burn in hell - and not because they know who He is or are attracted to Him or His ways. Does this make such "decisions for Christ" selfish?

These are the truths about life that God has revealed to me over the years in my Bible study and prayer time. I will not quote Scripture references for most of these. But each represents the collective wisdom that the Holy Spirit has given me. I consider them words from God.
