“You didn’t just automatically become a Christian, did you? You weren’t made a Christian by just going to church. Just like you are not made a car by sitting in a garage all day! You have to make a decision.”
“There are two decisions you need to make after you have accepted Jesus into your life. One: You need to make the decision to get over your past. You will not grow unless you make a conscious decision to get over your past. Two: Once you have made that decision, you need to trust God to help you get over your past...You didn’t just automatically become a Christian, did you? You weren’t made a Christian by just going to church. Just like you are not made a car by sitting in a garage all day! You have to make a decision.”
“Just because you go to church doesn't mean you're a Christian. I can go sit in the garage all day and it doesn't make me a car”
“Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.”
“Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian, anymore than standing in your garage makes you a car.”
“Standing in a garage no more makes you a car than standing in a church makes you a Christian.”
