Kicking For God
I grew up in a Christian home and asked Jesus into my heart at an early age of 6. At that time I made the decision to ask Jesus into my heart because I did not want to go to Hell. I did not understand what it really meant to be a Christian and have a relationship with Christ. I went through the motions of going to church and praying. It wasn't until I got to college and played football that I was hit with lot of temptation. I struggled a lot with drinking and always wanting to get drunk to make me feel better about myself. I was not a strong Christian so I struggled and fell into this temptation. There would be times where I would go to class drunk and even practice. Half way through my college career at the University of Toledo I realized that the way I was living was not honoring God. So I decided to rededicate my life for Him. It wasn't until then that I understood what a relationship with Jesus looked like. I was faithfully in his Word reading and wanting to grow. I lived for him and not man. It was then that I gave everything to Him and trusted Him with my football career. I always looked to Jeremiah 29:11 which says "For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I have learned to trust in Him and let Him control my life and I give him all the honor glory and praise!!
So how do we come to God? Just as Brett did, we can receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior when: First, we admit that—despite any good deeds we have done, or any special talents we might possess—we have all sinned. “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23)
Second, we understand the consequences of our sin are death and eternal separation from God. “For the wages of sin is death.” (Rom. 6:23a)
