Though he worked with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in high school, he went into a depression when he got to the NFL. It was then that he says he "really got saved." He says of that time, "I had one of those great, wonderful, salvation moments in my life. It was one of those moments that I knew that God's spirit had moved into my heart, and into my life and had grabbed and taken control of me, and you know what? I couldn't escape it. Because I learned that God forgave me...I was led through the sinner's prayer. It was pretty powerful. And what it did was, it consumed me. And it still does." His name is Terry Bradshaw.
This is the "Chief of Sinners," Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, and just as Terry Bradshaw gave his life to Christ, may I encourage you to do the same. Here is how:
John 3:16 reads, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
"For God so loved the world" means that if you are in the world, God loves you. No matter who you are, where you are, or what you have done, God loves you.
God loves you more than you love yourself. He loves you so much so "that He gave His only begotten Son." His only begotten son is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and for mine, He was buried, and on the third day, He rose from the dead.
"that whosoever believeth in Him", whosoever means anybody of any race, any color, any belief system, or any socio-economic status can believe on Jesus Christ.
"should not perish, but have everlasting life." if you believe on Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you will not perish in hell, instead you will have everlasting life in heaven with God.
The Bible also says in Romans 10:9 and 13: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.... For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Dear friend, if you are willing to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, please pray with me this simple prayer: Heavenly Father, I realize that I am a sinner and that I have done some bad things in my life. For Jesus Christ sake, please forgive me of my sins. I now believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ died for me, was buried, and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life today. Amen.
Congratulations on doing the most important thing in life and that is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour!
Remember, friend, Believe by faith. Share the faith. and Keep the faith!
