When it comes to being in a relationship with Jesus, it begins with a decision. It is a decision to follow Him. Sometimes that happens in a few specific moments that people can recall. They can remember the day and time they made that decision. For others, it is a longer process. Maybe a process of several decisions. Regardless of how we are wired or how we come to make decisions, God has offered to bring us into a relationship with God. He has provided a way for forgiveness through Jesus. Whether we need a little time or a lot of time to process all of what He did, He wants us to keep moving forward toward that decision. So, where are you in that decision? Are you ready to follow Jesus?
