Luke Hildebrand

I am at times overwhelmed by the grace of God sending Christ especially in lew of the Old Testament.

I have recently committed doing the Bible Reading Plan and reading the entire Bible and taking notes. I have built a genuine interest in it and is the source of meaning and moral instruction. The righteousness of the ideals of the Bible exceeds any other religion. With that said, I technically was "saved" at the age of 4 but the reality is there are many times of experiences similar to that throughout my life. A faith at 4 is much different and less challenging than a faith at 17. 17 years old is when, the joke goes, "every 17 year old is an atheist". It is just before you become an adult and realize that everything is based on the Bible and rebellion from it produces the worst of results. A specific story is difficult to form but there was one time at New Life Ranch where I would say I thought I was then truly saved. After the final worship service, back when I liked modern worship songs and not older hymns and psalms that I was very touched and realized I was a sinner in need of a savior.

I can know as it says in 1 John 5:13 to know I have eternal life.
