“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. – Jesus (Revelation 3:20)
More than once I have heard, “I asked Jesus into my heart but I don’t feel saved!”
I always ask two (2) questions – first, “What is being saved supposed to feel like?”, and without exception they say, “I don’t know!” Then I ask, “How do you know, then, you don’t feel saved?!”
When you ask Jesus to come into your life, that IS what feeling saved feels like, right then, at that moment! Sure, we read stories in the Bible where lights flash, people fall, holy voices speak – we like those stories, they make good theater. They are the exception rather than the rule. God seldom does theatrics but he will do what he says.
When we open life’s door to Christ we know he comes in simply because he said he would. Start with that simple fact. Feelings may come and go, but trust in God’s word stays.
