In my many years as an evangelist, I have witnessed God transform people time and time again. I have seen unfaithful husbands give their lives to the Lord, repent of their sins, turn from their ways, and their marriages healed. I have seen criminals accept Jesus as their Savior, and experience a peace unlike anything they had ever felt before. I have seen world leaders and business owners become totally different people after accepting Jesus into their hearts. Some have asked me, “How can this be? How can people change so drastically?” But with God, nothing is impossible. In fact, when we receive Jesus into our hearts, we have the creator of the universe on our side, and on the inside. He is there to empower us, to uplift us, to forgive us, to cleanse us, and to make us new. We must first make the choice to receive Jesus, and then we experience the miracle of newness in Christ
The Bible says in Ephesians 4:22-24, “You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self…to be made new in the attitude of your minds, and to put on your new self, created like God in true righteousness and holiness”. Wherever you are in your faith journey, I cannot urge you enough to receive Jesus into your heart if you have not yet done so. Do it now. Open your heart and let Him take over. Put on the newness of Christ. This is Luis Palau.
