How I got saved



Before I had a relationship with Jesus, I struggled with problems with alcohol. I sought the approval of the world, and people, and I tried to please everyone all the time.

I did whatever I thought would gain their favor. During that time, I participated in many unethical things. Instead of gaining their respect, all I did was allow those people to use me, more and more, to achieve their ends. That pushed me further toward the wrong things, the wrong goals, and the wrong people.

Some friends of mine shared with me that I might want to come to their church, and try to truly receive Jesus. I was skeptical, but I thought it would not hurt to try.

From that point on, I knew that my life would be different. I now only had to live my life for Jesus, not for the people of this world.

I was forced to part ties with my very unethical boss. He tried to destroy me and discredit me, but I knew it was the right thing to do. Since leaving his employment, I have had a sense of peace that I never previously had.

I know that when I die, I will be with Jesus, in heaven, forever. I have total and complete assurance of my salvation.
