Every week we will have a message from Todd Strandberg, the founder of RaptureReady.com and Terry James, author and editor for RaptureReady.com. This is a thought provoking segment you will not want to miss.
In the early 1980s, I spent several months searching for the elusive gift called eternal salvation. I had prayed the sinner’s prayer several times, and because I still felt the same, I figured God and Todd had somehow failed to make that final connection.
My fixation on the idea that I needed to experience some sort of supernatural transformation kept me searching. When people asked me about when I had become a Christian, I'd honestly answer, "Well, not yet," to their surprise.
The breakthrough came on the night of August 11, 1983 at a country church located in the back roads of northwest Iowa. It was there that I discovered I had been a knucklehead for not realizing how simple the process was: You confess Jesus as your Savior and you believe His blood is able to wash away your sins.
Because of its pure simplicity, the story of the thief on the cross has to be my favorite conversion story. One of the two thieves crucified with Jesus acknowledged he was in big trouble by saying to his fellow malefactor, "We receive the due reward." He then affirmed Jesus' sinless state by proclaiming, "This man has done nothing amiss;" and finally he asked Jesus, "Remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom" (Luke 23:41-42).
