My Grandfather is definitely the one who led and prepared my way to meet Jesus when I was a teenager. Living by example, sharing his faith and loving others wholeheartedly but also admitting his faults, sins and failures and the grace that God extended to him and that He extends to us all. He just turned 90 and I am so proud of the man of God he is and so thankful to have him in my life. <br />•How is repentance linked to your experience of salvation: in the past? Repentance, letting go of the past to become who I am today is so much a part of my salvation.

Jesus changed my life! Now? I may not make the choices I made as a teenager, but certainly have things to confess and repent about. Remembering how repentance delivered me in the past and made me a changed person should be a reminder to repent and bring my challenges before God more often. <br />•How has God affirmed you as a child in Christ?
