I came to the realization that I was a sinner, separated from a relationship with my Creator God. The Bible teaches that the consequence of sin is death, separation from God. I believe that Christ paid the penalty for my sin through his death on the cross and was raised again on the third day having paid the full penalty for my sin. I confess him as Lord (meaning Master, surrendering my will to His) and Savior having assurance of the forgiveness of sin and eternal life with Him through faith.
