Amen!<br><br>There is a particular point I remember first realizing the full extent and heaviness of my sin and how I had been trying to be a "good Christian" all on my own. I remember the night I said "Lord, you be the Lord of my life! Be my Savior AND my God." And I do believe that Christ will be both Lord and Savior of every true Christian. But I could also tell you some things that suggest I was regenerate before then. For instance, I could see some specific incidences of God's providence, and I did have a desire to learn about God and tell others about Him.<br><br>Which brings me to this question: Do we have any idea how long one might be regenerate before they consciously know the weightiness of their sin and consciously make a confession of faith?<br><br>I never even heard of the Sinner's Prayer until highschool. Never even heard of altar calls until highschool either.

True godliness is a sincere feeling which loves God as Father as much as it fears and reverences Him as Lord, embraces His righteousness, and dreads offending Him worse than death~ Calvin
