The Key To Embracing Truth….

The turning point comes in everyone’s life when they realize their mortality. You either turn around and head in the opposite direction, or you hit the gas, pressing forward, continuing down the same path. How you respond to the realization that we are all sinners, determines our eternal destiny. With that destiny determined, it transforms us into the man God intends us to be, or turns us into the wayward son He longs to restore. Believing we are sinners is the key to embracing truth. It’s the first step in the repentance process. You can’t embrace the Savior without having a reason to be saved.

27 Later, as Jesus left the town, He saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow Me and be My disciple,” Jesus said to him. 28 So Levi got up, left everything, and followed Him.29 Later, Levi held a banquet in his home with Jesus as the guest of honor. Many of Levi’s fellow tax collectors and other guests also ate with them. 30 But the Pharisees and their teachers of religious law complained bitterly to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with such scum?”31 Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor–sick people do. 32 I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.” Luke 5:27-32
