God's Story In My LIfe

I often felt lonely and unsure of what my life was about.

I didn’t grow up in a Christian home and I did not know if I was going to heaven when I died. I also was not comfortable in my own skin and was very insecure.

When I was fifteen, a friend invited me to his church. I went to a youth Bible study with him. At the end of the class the teacher explained that God loved me, and that Jesus came to save me. He then gave an invitation for those present to pray and put their faith in Jesus. I knew I was a sinner. I realized at that moment that my only hope was in Jesus. That night I confessed my sinfulness and put my faith in Jesus. Jesus changed my life.

I know knew who I was, what my life was about, and where I was going. I was a child of God, created to live for His glory, and destined for heaven one day.

I began to read the Bible and grow in knowledge and faith. My youth pastor mentored me and invited me to a weekly Bible study. The more I studied the Bible and shared my new faith with others, I began to sense a call to ministry. I surrendered to that call and have been doing ministry ever since. I now have a sense of peace and purpose in my life.

Because of Jesus, I now know I have His forgiveness and have eternal life.
