BECOMING COMPLETE
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German Christian who died under Hitler for his opposition to Nazi actions, stated the necessity for a definite beginning in Christian Discipleship with these words: “Unless a definite step is demanded, the call vanishes into thin air; and if men imagine that they can follow Jesus without taking this step, they are deluding themselves…” You don’t become a Christian by osmosis. God acts through the Holy Spirit, bringing us to repentance and trust in Christ. His is the initiative. He is the one who makes this whole business operational. If you’re a believer, there is a starting place and a person: Jesus, the Son of God.
