Don writes this about his conversion: The Lord graciously opened my heart to receive the gospel of Christ as a child. During a sermon, the preacher spoke vehemently and bluntly about the reality of hell. I knew that I was guilty, and I needed mercy. I knew that this mercy came only through Christ. During this sermon, I heard a clear presentation of the gospeI I heard that Jesus lived a sinless life and died a sacrificial death. I heard that He was buried and was raised on the third day. I heard that He offered salvation to me. So, I, by the grace of God, responded to His call by repenting of my sins and trusting in Him.
