Turning to God

Have you turned your life to God? Do you know others who need to turn their lives to God? The Holy Spirit brings you to the point where you see the need to turn to God. When that happens, you ask questions. Those questions can be answered in the Bible.
Turning to God will change your life forever. The Lord always takes the initiative to turn your life around. It may come at a critical time when you search for answers. It will be a time when you are awakened to your need for God. He uses situations in your life to cause you to turn to him.
You turn to God through his Son Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit enables you to turn to God by faith in Christ. It's called grace, God's undeserved favor. After that experience, God uses other critical times in your life to cause you to turn to him. When you turn to God through Jesus Christ, you are turning to love, mercy, and grace. Turning to God satisfies the longing of your heart.

"You turned to God from idols
to serve the living and true God."

1 Thessalonians 1:9
