Grace and Mercy

Before I received eternal life I was consumed by guilt/shame.

I had made bad choices in relationships. I ended up marrying twice and divorcing twice.

I met Daniel who is my third husband. When we were dating- I told him I that God had to be a part of my life. We talked about religion and what we believed. Daniel was so confident in his salvation. That made me curious! I was raised in a religion that believed you could lose your salvation if you sinned and died at that moment. It left me with nothing but anxiety and a feeling of, "I can't ever be good enough to be saved." Therefore, I just gave up and started living my life however I pleased. Then, I heard a sermon by Bro. Mike Sams on "grace." I never knew what grace was until that day. It set me free from all of the chains that had been holding me down for so long. I was FREE!!! And the devil couldn't snatch me out of His hands!

His grace reached even me. I have been transformed- Hallelujah!

I became a doer. I am now a Youth Leader at a Spanish mission. We are beginning an international student ministry with the local university. The truth set me free- free to serve the Lord. It has caused me to live with the power of the resurrection in my mind. I don't think or live for the world anymore. I live with eternity in mind.

I just know I am going to heaven when I die. The Spirit that has been given to me assures me of my salvation. I have been sealed. I believe God. I believe His word. It tells us that we are saved if we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior and believe that He is God's son. I am going to heaven!
