Aaron S

I'm thankful that God sacrificed Jesus to die on the cross so I could have eternal life, because I know that my life would be a wreck without Him by my side.

Going to college as a Christian is tough at times, I won't lie. I am tempted every day to give in to college culture, or rather, the culture of the world. Trying to stay pure is hard, especially when there are people all around you cussing, talking about sex before marriage, discussion about LGBT, and so on. But God is always there to remind me I am loved by Him and that the things of this world will fade, and only He will remain. He continually reminds me of what is right and wrong, and at the same time, forgives me constantly for my slip-ups, so I am always confident that I can resist the temptations of college life. Even when I fail or I am severely tempted by something, I know I can always count on God to get me through it.

Overall, I know that God is with me and has ensured that I have eternal life in Jesus. Even though I struggle day to day, I know that God will pull me out of the rubble that is my sin. I'm not perfect, but thankfully God doesn't expect perfection from us. All we have to do is believe that Jesus died for us, and we shall have eternal life. I believe that with my whole heart, and I can't wait for the day when I'll see Jesus face to face.
