Christian Testimony of Teresa V.
(John 3:16) 'For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life'. I am too limited in my understanding to fully grasp all that Jesus endured ~ (Jesus Christ~ The only perfect, sinless man) ~(the mental /physical torture, the abandonment, the loneliness, the fear) ~ on His way to and on that cross. All this to pay the price for sinners like me and every person who ever lived and will ever live! I cannot begin to understand the magnitude of that!
Most of my life was spent being indifferent, prideful, materialistic, full of self and doing things my way. I really was blind.
God has healed me through many health issues ~ heart surgery, brain surgery, removing all my teeth prior to heart surgery, and having an ICD (Implanted cardiac defibrillator) implanted ~ all in a month or so's time
Although having always believed in God, it wasn't until a Christian friend gave me guidance to what being a Christian really meant. Choosing to be born again, through baptism of the Holy Spirit, my passion for the Lord blossomed. Now, I see!
His mercy & grace gave me a second chance and I am eternally grateful. I pray for discernment, wisdom and guidance to have opportuinites to serve Him and others. My favorite scripture is my favorite because I believe it completely explains who God, our loving Father is: Jeremiah 29:11 ~ "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
My sole intention in sharing this testimony is to bring glory to God, our Father. That all might see our Heavenly Father as the creator of Heaven and Earth, Omnipotent, friend, confidant, provider, protector, who loved each of us enough, that no one should perish, by sending His only begotten son, Jesus, to this world and offering us the epic gift of salvation!
There is no way to earn your Heavenly reward by works or 'doing good deeds'. Eternal Salvation ~ He made it so easy ~ all you need do is ask! You need only to ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart, repent of your sins (we all have them) and surrender fully to Him. And, it will change everything! He's waiting for you.
Your testimony matters too
