Actor Donnie Wahlberg is going viral after declaring that the most important thing he has ever done in his life is to make Jesus Christ the Lord of his life.
The powerful moment unfolded at a Forrest Frank concert when the son of retired MMA fighter Christian Reynoso asked the singer and actor a simple question: What’s the greatest accomplishment of your life?
Wahlberg replied, “So of all the things I did in my life, just in, in the last year, I gave my life to Christ, and that’s the most important thing of all the things I did. So, I’m a dad, and that’s important, and I raised my sons, and they’re good men, and I’m proud of a lot of things I did, but it doesn’t matter as much as giving my life to Jesus.”

Wahlberg’s openness about his faith is a relatively new thing. His newfound boldness appears to reflect what Jesus described in the book of John, chapter 3, as being “born again,” which is a profound transition from spiritual death to new life that occurs through God’s grace, rather than just following a set of moral teachings or religious rules.
