I never used to believe Jesus actually existed-- much less that He is our Savior until a life changing encounter years ago. He really is WHO He says He is-- the Christ- Son of God.

My life changed from that point on-- After we accept Him as our Savior, the Holy Spirit begins a work in us so that we will also love Him as Lord and King as well. It takes our entire lifetime to fully accept Him as our King, because our self-nature is so strong, that it doesn't want to surrender to a Higher Authority. The only way we can surrender is by grace, and out of love for Him.

In the beginning of our Christian path, we stop doing the gross obvious sins, but then the Holy Spirit later shows us the little selfish things and little prides, etc, that we still need to surrender over to Him. Things we didnt notice about ourselves before- things that may have even secretly annoyed others that we had no clue about.

Being a Christian is a lifelong path where we have to say, "Be patient with me cuz God ain't finished with me yet"
