Missing Salvation by 18 Inches
There is a common saying: “You can miss Heaven by 18 inches.” That is about the distance between you head and your heart. I had an intellectual knowledge about Jesus but no heart knowledge. It’s like knowing you had a father and knowing your father. I did not know Jesus as my personal Saviour.
I had experienced God’s urgent call to salvation many times in my life. I told God “I’ll get around to salvation, but not now.” I was not ready to give up the temporary rewards sin has to offer. Every time I rejected God’s offer I fell deeper into sin.
