So happy to have you stop in at Believe4More.com and consider the Christian Life and how God through His Spirit has many things to teach us.
Have you ever heard at Christmas time, "Jesus is the Greatest Gift?" It seems to be a popular theme. During my study of Holy Spirit I have come to what I feel is a more complete understanding. I now believe that the greatest gift from God isn't Jesus Himself, it is His Spirit.
All of us have different paths in life and have been exposed to various teachings. Some of us study our Bibles, memorize scriptures and regularly attend church and some of us don't. Some of us have never picked up a Bible but we still go to church and call ourselves Christians. Some have learned man-made religious doctrines and are taught to keep various traditions. Some have been to Seminary or Bible college, but have never had a personal encounter with Jesus.
Yes, you read that right. You are not a sinner if you have ever sincerely received Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. If you disagree, the trouble may be that you received Jesus as a child, invited Him into your heart - as many are instructed to do - and then continued to grow up without a real relationship with Him, which will only develop as you personally study His Word and fellowship with other believers.
