WHAT DO YOU MEAN: "Give Yourself to Christ"? - Garner Ted Armstrong - October 1957

Garner Ted Armstrong

Millions have heard the cry, "Give your life to Jesus!" "Accept Christ now - and GIVE yourself to Him!" But those same millions might ask, "How?" What does it mean to "give" yourself to Christ? Are you like many thousands of others who have "made a decision for Christ" - who have decided to give yourself to Him? If you are, the chances are you ran into a blank wall immediately after making that decision! Each year, many thousands of persons are trying to "give" their lives to Jesus Christ. In a moment of remorse over their past lives - a moment of realization of God's mercy and love - they decide to accept Jesus as their Saviour. But HOW does a person do such a thing as giving his own self to Christ? What does it mean? Is it merely a temporary decision, or a sentiment? Is it something that is of the emotions only? Or is it a down-to-earth, concrete, PRACTICAL course of action - a WAY OF LIVING? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
