Being reconciled to God along His plan of salvation means
that at some point one must make a change.
In other words, you must eventually turn away from the habitual failures
of the past to embrace a forgiving future life endowed by the Father. Unless this turning to God takes place, there
is no salvation. A commonly used word
for this act of turning to God is “repent”.
I tell you, no! But
unless you repent, you too will all perish – Luke 13:3
To turn to God is to embrace the realization that you need
His forgiveness, you recognize it is available; you know it is impossible apart
from Him, and you are desiring a new life. I find it incredibly humbling that something
with such far reaching affects can be accomplished with such ease. One need only do as described in Romans 10:9
to find salvation.
If you declare with
your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from
the dead, you will be saved. – Romans 10:9
Turning means to walk away from sin, and selfishness, to
embrace Christ alone.
