Romans 3:22-24
How did you first come to know Jesus? What was your understanding of his Love for you then? Has your understanding changed or deepened?:
So I have had discussions about this with people (Pastor, PS and others in the past). I have been told that I do not know Jesus (PS) and that was disturbing to me. I have had debates on Baptism also. I was baptized was an infant. I have been told I need to be baptized again, due to Free Will reasons (which is weird because we have had Free Will discussions that seemed to not go toward the theory of Free Will). In talking to Pastor, God baptizes, not the water or the people. This makes sense to me as I have ALWAYS believed. I did not start going to church until about 30 (29 I think actually).
PS and I discuss (and Pastor and I) surrender. I need to surrender. BUT in reflection, I have surrendered a lot already. I have clawed some of it back from God over time, as I needed it (did I though? or just not trust in God enough?).
I need to surrender a fair amount. Re-surrender some of it.
The last few months have been huge in my understanding of the Love of Jesus. They have helped me focus on what I need to do, and though I do not know How to do it, I have a direction to start with.
