God’s not even asking you to live the Christian life. You can’t live it. He’s asking that He might live it through you. But first of all, you have to come to Him as a sinner to be saved.

You haven’t got anything to commit to Him, friends. He wants to commit something to you. He died for you! And He’s on the giving end. He said the “gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.” And it’s just as simple as this. Have you accepted it? Have you received it?

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
