Nine Years a Christian

On December 9th, 2004 I trusted Christ. Here is my brief reflection nine years later:

Nine years ago tonight I:
repented of my sins/
knelt at his feet/
wept for joy/
trusted Jesus/
believed on the gospel/
was called by God/
was forgiven by God/
was transferred into his Kingdom/
was made free/
was adopted as a child of God/
was justified/
was redeemed/
began to follow Jesus/
died to self/
was given hope/
was made alive in Christ/
was renewed in heart/
was given the Spirit/
sin became disgusting/
Christ became glorious//

Nine years later in the face of possible death:
Christ remains glorious/
Christ remains my joy/
Christ remains my hope/

(To the theologians in the crowd, I have not tried to purposely organize the list into any ordo salutis ;)
