There are basically 3 ways that God comes into our lives
1-  We hear the Gospel and decide to give our life to Jesus.
2- Someone prays for us, and God does something to get our
attention. (Some of us were very thick-headed)
3  God sovereignly chooses you because he has a special work
for you to do and He knew that you would accept His call.
