Significant Dates

What is your wedding anniversary?

When did you graduate high school?

What was your Mothers birth date?

Our lives are filled with significant dates and occasions which hold fast in our minds and memories, giving our lives color, definition and clarity.

You know your birthday.
You know your wife’s birthday.

Your wedding date is in your mind or you are reminded.
The children you have brought into the world have birth dates you can recall.

Can you recall the date you accepted Christ into your life?

Life is bordered by significant and important and memorable occasions and dates.

I really believe you should remember your spiritual birth date.

Of all the dates in your existence IT will define your life and your eternity.

What’s yours?

I have asked people when they came to know Christ ….and some have said……..

 “I’ve always been a Christian.”

Not quite.

You have not always been alive.

You have not always been married.

It does not occur through osmosis.

It required a choice and a follow through.

It was a event.

It has weight which is heavy enough and is important enough to be remembered and acknowledged.

11/22/63…9/11/01…6/6/44..12/7/41..7/4/1776

More than those dates, your spiritual birthday began your eternal existence with Christ.

I asked a friend once and he quickly replied, “January 17, 1977.”

Encourage others to know their date.

Write down for your children the date they accepted Christ.

Do the same for your grandchildren.

Encourage those to whom you are close to “know your date”.

The Most Significant date.
