After a friend spoke to Heather about Jesus and the transcendent life He’d purchased for her, she believed and readily accepted Him. But there was one problem: Heather’s parents weren’t Christians, and she wasn’t sure they’d approve of her being one. Many thoughts ran through her mind as she contemplated the decision she had just made.
If you’re in a similar situation as Heather, you need to understand that your family background shouldn’t deter you from accepting and serving the Lord Jesus Christ. It doesn’t matter that your family members don’t yet know the Lord; you’re the seed of God’s salvation sown into that family. And don’t be afraid of being persecuted because of your new-found faith. Now that you’ve received the God-kind of life, that life in you is able to make you withstand whatever opposition you face. It will make you victorious in every circumstance. That’s the reason you must be filled with the Holy Spirit. The moment you receive Him, you have it made, because He’ll help you live out the divine life you now have.
Jesus said you don’t need to pre-meditate what you’ll say when you’re questioned about your faith. The Holy Spirit will put the right words in your mouth, and your testimony will draw those who hear it to Christ. Hallelujah!
