Do we come to God first, or does God reach out to us to begin with?
Most people come to God through prayer after someone has told them about Him – either evangelically or in a church setting. The prayer usually goes something like this: “Lord God, I come to You as a sinner. I admit my sins and I ask You to forgive me. I acknowledge that Jesus died on the Cross for me, and I ask that Jesus come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour, Amen”
While I agree, there is no greater prayer, that of receiving Jesus as ones Lord and Saviour the question remains; “Who approached who first?”
Right from the beginning of history we see that God had His plan for our redemption - but we - as in people in general, never made this easy.
