That’s a stupid question. The answer is because I made the decision.
**The answer is because I made the decision.**
Why?
Or do you often make descisions without thinking them through?
ie: “I bought a house because I made the decision to”
So you were smarter than the unbeliever who didn’t make the decision? Or was it just dumb luck?
Actually it's a very relevant question.
The premise that many of you seem to be operating from is that all men are brought to the point where their will is momentarily free of the slavery to sin that they are born with so that they may make a decision for or against Jesus Christ. It is a very valid question then to ask why some choose to believe in Him unto salvation while others reject Him, particularly when the sinfulness of fallen man's heart is supposedly not in play.
I submit that it was the efficacious work of the Holy Spirit upon your heart, quickening it to faith, that led you to respond in faith to the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
