I grew up in a family that believed in God but not necessarily went to church or said blessings before meals. I believed in God but hadn't verbally accepted him as my Lord and Savior. Fast forward to my 20's where I worked at a place where my boss is Christian and God used her to start planting more seeds. I met my husband that is Christian and we would have discussions where I would say I'm a good person, God loves me, but still hadn't accepted him verbally. My husband and God were so patient with me. Fast forward to 2006 where I got into a major car accident that was my fault and survived and didn't kill anyone. Shortly after, I realized if I would've died, I would have ended up in Hell. My husband's boss and his wife did a home church or Bible study and invited us, which is where i finally accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Romans 10:9-10 (NIV)
