How Our Relationship Began
At a young age, I came to a deeper realization that I had nothing to do with my salvation and that it was all Jesus. He showed me His grace and helped me see that I can only have eternal life through Him. This transformed my life and I slowly developed a relationship with Jesus that gets stronger the older I get.
I know that I have eternal life because God has revealed His grace to me which brings hope and assurance in my life.
I remember a moment in my life where I came to a full recognition of my sin and the weight that it had on me. I was in my home, in bed, at the age of 13. It felt like a ton of pressure was weighing on my chest and all I could think about was, "how am I supposed to make this right?" My sin = my problem, or at least that's what I had been telling myself. I remembered saying the prayer and doing the "right" things in life, but I knew it would never be enough. God revealed His grace to me showing me that my salvation isn't built on what I can do, but what Jesus has already done for me. My thought process went from, Jesus, how can I make this right, to, Jesus, thank you for making it right for me. This then reminded me of the hope I have in Jesus and the eternal life he has promised me.
I live today with the same grace that was revealed to me then. His grace is given to me every day because He knows I'm going to fail, but through my forgiveness and repentance, His grace shines brighter than my sin and the hope of eternal life fills me with peace.
Your testimony matters too
