Publisher's Synopsis
The greatest enemy of any new believer in Christ is themselves. We often over think salvation and what it means to be a Christian. When we accept Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we seek to save the whole world in a day. We easily forget that there is a force of evil that is waiting for us the very second we exit the church doors and head to our vehicles. At the altar we don't account for the hundreds of emotions or the way our families will receive us, at that time we are only seeking a change that will free us from the bondage that is eating away at our very souls. In this writing the author seeks to put the audience in the drivers seat of a new believer and walk them through the process, while giving them biblical principals and Christian experiences to open there eyes to the realities of conversion in the 21st century church. The ride home and the conversation a new believer has with their families can make for a great experience or a scary, traumatic one. The ride home lends to hundreds of emotions; happy, sad, grateful, lonely, scared, joy, freedom etc. the author tries to encourage the young believer before approaching family and friends that they may be ready for the let down of being rejected and shunned. We love to feel accepted because of our choices, but more times than not, a believer has to learn how to accept rejection and even humiliation for the sake of a relationship with Christ. A believer, no matter how young or old has to become satisfied and find comfort in a singular relationship with Christ. The author concludes letting the audience know, that the greatest sign of the forgiving power of Christ is people knowing how you use to live before you accepted Christ. The thing we fear, is indeed the one thing that will allow God to get Glory because of the visible change that takes place in our lives. Jesus didn't come for those who were well, He came for those who where sick. Before we meet Christ we are sick in sin, but we come to realize we need a Savior, and His name is Jesus. There is hope, After the Altar Call.
