My Testimony

Hey world,

I want to share to you all in how I became a Christian.

I grew up in a Christian home. My father especially is the head of the church as Senior Pastor. So I grew up thinking that I was a Christian. But that was not the case. At the same time, I did not like being a Christian. The reason was that every time I was around my fellow Christian people I was being pressure by them. I was being pressure because people presume that I would be like my dad. I did not like growing up at all. I did not want one thing to do with Church. All my life I felt alone. I did not have real friends. The day I became a Christian was something real special. The experience totally change my life whole. I had a real friend that help me know Jesus Christ. The portion of scripture that caught my life and attention was this, John 3:16-17, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." From that scripture I was amaze. Someone actually died for me, so I won't be condemn. All this time I thought I was a Christian because I was being a good person. Me being a good person did not fill the loneliness in me. I had no inner peace in me. Until I readied some more verses. I continue reading another verse and it hit me, John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives." From that I just had to give my life to Jesus Christ. For someone to die for me because he loves me, is totally worth the try to know him so I can receive the peace that I want in my life.

From that moment, my life has never been the same. Having this relationship with Jesus Christ is awesome and it's a journey.

I hope this testimony would be helpful to you.

Love,
