But when did you accept Christ?
Fifth grade at Christian Heritage Academy. I remember I heard a hot gospel and I heard what happens if you don't give your life to Jesus. And it's very important that when we share the gospel, the modern gospel is God has this beautiful, amazing, wonderful life for you. And if you give your life to Christ, your life will infinitely improve.
That is somewhat true, but it's very misleading because you're basically trying to sell people in Christianity of a life without difficulty where the better way to teach the gospel is here's the Ten Commandments. How many of these are you violating? Oh, you deserve to go to hell. And you probably will unless you give your life to Christ. That is the proper way to evangelize.
And so I realized the stakes in fifth grade. I was like, "Oh my goodness, I'm a sinner. I'm selfish. I'm broken." And only thanks to Jesus's perfect sacrifice coming and living a perfect life that I get something I do not earn but has been given to me.
