My name is Dean Sieberhagen. I live in Texas currently but come from Grahamstown, South Africa. Like you, I'm sure, I miss South Africa, especially the good food like Biltong and Boerewors. But, I do not want to talk to you about those things but rather about the most important decision I ever made in my life.
Being born in South Africa I thought, well yes, I must be a Christian. I go to church and my parents say they are Christians, so automatically I must be a Christian. While I was still a young person some people came into my life and invited me to a youth meeting where we had fun but also talked about God. They shared with me how being a Christian is not automatic and does not
depend on what your culture says. They explained that I needed to make a personal decision. What does this personal decision mean? It means that I personally believe that the Lord Jesus Christ died for me and that through this He took my sins from me and that I give my life to Him to live for Him. This is the most important decision I have ever made.
Have you made this decision? It's the most important one you will make. Its costs you nothing but it cost Jesus everything as He died for you. Will you believe and make this decision? All you have to do is pray to Him and ask Him into your life. I will pray and you can use these words to pray from your heart. If you do you will begin a new life with the Lord Jesus.
Pray this way: Dear Lord Jesus, thank you that you died for me and took my sins from me. Thank you that through you I can have a place in heaven. I ask you now to come into my life and I decide now to live for you. Thank you for doing this wonderful thing for me. I ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
