I am a professional lead trumpet player, and part of what
'Lead Players' do is play high notes.
Other trumpeters often ask, “How DO YOU play so high?” and while diligent practice and careful technique is essential, when you have to play that note, ultimately you have to BELIEVE it with confidence and Not Have Doubt.
Nobody can do that for me.
— I have to believe it myself.
Likewise, believing in God and the promises of the Bible for forgiveness and salvation is Something Only You Can Do.
It doesn’t matter if you were raised in church, attend every Sunday, have friends that are Christians, attend a Bible study, go on retreats, have people lay hands on you or have a pastor pray for you. When you get to that point in your song of life ultimately YOU have to BELIEVE the gospel and in Christ yourself with confidence and also NOT HAVE DOUBT.
Receiving the gift of salvation starts with simply saying to God:
“LORD, I am a sinner.
I cannot justify the many bad things
and grievious mistakes I have done.
Please forgive me.
From this day on I recognize that
YOU are the LORD and YOU are my SAVIOUR.
Starting today, I want to follow you
and live a life obedient to you.
Thank you. Amen.
Friend, this is something only you can do. Nobody can do it for you, so if you have not done so--
Believe and proclaim this with confidence! And the 'High' calling of your eternal security in Christ will NEVER BE IN DOUBT.
God Bless Your Day
Jesus Loves You
