Freedom from guilt

I was a lost person tying to see how close to sin I could get and still call myself a Christian. I think most people would call me a "good" person. But, the sin was so clear in my life.

I remember thinking that everyone would get drunk once in a while as long as I wasn't an alcoholic. Other times, my pride would justify my angry response.

A friend at work, explained to me about the saving grace of Jesus and how I could know forgiveness and receive eternal life.

When I got married, I could see I was going to effect my wife and someday my children; I wanted to know we both would spend eternity with Jesus.

Trusting Christ my anger left me as I looked more at other people and less on myself. I became more respectful to other people and enjoyed each day.

Now I live each day under God's grace and knowing someday I will experience eternal life with Him in heaven.
