The BIGGEST skeptic in the

world gets saved

(from http://www.abundantbible.org/)

To the best of my memory, before I came to the saving grace of Jesus

Christ, I did not believe the Bible was true.

I doubted whether God, Satan, Heaven, or Hell existed. I believed that

we were born, lived so many years, and then died. I had my own business

and thought that I had succeeded by my own wits.

One evening, my wife and I heard some documentation that these were

the last days before Jesus Christ would actually return. Not wanting to hear

it, I almost walked out. Something kept me there, and I listened but was not

convinced; however, I decided to do some research to find out if the Bible

was really true.

Indeed, if I could find one contradiction or anything that was not true,

then I could disregard it. I believed this would not take long. This led me

into much research. I learned nearly one-third of the Bible is directly or

indirectly related to prophecy which includes about 10,000 prophecies.

One thing needed was to determine when the Bible was actually

written. Thus, a study of biblical history, various translations, and

archaeology was necessary. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which were found in

Israel, contained parts of the Old Testament including prophecies of the

coming of Jesus.

It has been proven that the Scrolls were written before Christ came.

Thousands of clay tablets and archaeological sites also confirm many

accounts in the Bible.

I took time off and began studying the prophecies. My wife would

spend much time at the library. She obtained documentation for me from

reference books that I would check against the Scriptures to see if the

prophecies took place.

One week went by, and then a month. Every prophecy that we were

able to get information on proved to be accurate. I was astonished, but still

not convinced.

Later, there were people who would show me what appeared to be

contradictions in the Bible. These were not contradictions, but only a lack of

research on the part of those that said these things. Stubborn, that's me.

Even after four months of intensive study, proving prophecy after prophecy was true, I was still skeptical. Four months turned into six. I

became more determined. It wasn't possible that the 66 books of the Bible,

written by many people over hundreds of years, would not have some errors,

I thought.

Thousands of prophecies, and every one perfect? No, impossible! If I

would admit that, then I would also have to admit there was a God. I was not

prepared to do that—yet, I wanted to know the truth. More months passed.

Finally, I had to admit after spending almost countless hours of research—I was wrong. I may have been the biggest skeptic in the world,

but now I know—the Bible is true and is the perfect Word of God.

Anyone willing to take the time I did and do the same research could

only come to the same conclusion. I became afraid that I would perish. I

surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God as a result

of His love, compassion, mercy and grace.

I know that there is none other name under heaven given among menwhereby we MUST be saved (EXCEPT JESUS), says Acts 4:12. I

REPENTED of my sins and received Jesus Christ as my only hope of

salvation by FAITH, as outlined in Eph 2:8-10.



It is written, EXCEPT YE BE CONVERTED, AND BECOME AS

LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF

HEAVEN. You can also call on Jesus NOW to be YOUR Lord and Savior.

What do we pray? Well, something like this…

Dear God:

I am a sinner.

Others have sinned greater than I have, but,

nevertheless, I stand before you now as a lost sinner, deserving of

Hell.

I choose to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God

who became a man.

I choose to believe He allowed Himself to be put todeath, arose again on the third day, and is alive today.

The Bible says our sins are washed away by the blood

of Jesus Christ, and I believe that.

Father I want to be cleansed of all my sins right now.

I know I am not right with God, and I want to be. I

want to go to Heaven when I die.

Right now at (date and time)______________, I bow at

the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ, and I am dumping all of mysin there. ALL of it!

I ask that the blood of Jesus Christ wash away all my

sins - past, present and future.

I am sorry for my sin, and I accept your forgiveness.

Right now I declare that I am a Christian.

I ask, Father, that you will make me aware of when I

want to sin, and give me the courage to say No.

I ask, too, that you will help me understand the Bible,

and to make the rest of my days on earth count for eternity.

I pray all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, my new

Lord and Savior. Amen
