Not sure if that makes sense or not, but its the best way I can explain it!:)

Turning to Christ is a good thing, and there is nothing wrong with praying that people ‘turn’ to Christ. However once one has ‘turned’ to Him, the next thing for them to do is not to stay where they were when they turned, but to actually ‘GO’ TO Him for that most intimate of fellowship. The GOING includes the turning.

Though they may be just different stages of words, I find that these things are quite interesting to think about.

When I pray for our lost family members and neighbors, I pray that they TURN to Jesus. Turn away from sin and turn towards the Son of God. That is how I have come to think of the act.

So many words could be used. I believe God knows the intent in the heart and if someone is using a word He does not like, God in his wisdom will educate a willing follower.

If someone is told to ‘Come’ to Jesus and they do submit to the Lord through that call, from that time on, their salvation is between them and the Holy Spirit, as long as they totally submit to Him.

For instance, my husband and I turned to Jesus while watching the ‘PTL Club’ on TV. Did we stay followers of that pitiful freakshow, NO. We became followers of Jesus Christ. Even while we were viewing the show we were aware of the frailty and faults of the ones on stage but God in his infinite Mercy used them to call to us.

Just wanted to add my thoughts, anyway.

Appreciate your Blogs and am praying for you & yours,
Janice
