My testimony

I had a traditional cultural Christian upbringing, and believe myself to be saved as a kid. When I went to college, and began to drink heavily, began to purse women, and generally did whatever made me feel good at any time. I never felt bad about what I was doing.

Throughout the time I was living for myself, my parents never stopped praying, and talking with me about how I was living. I constantly shrugged it off, and didn’t want to think about it. I didn’t care because I thought I was saved, and also thought I could do whatever I wanted, and it would all work out in the end.

A few years ago, my parents would constantly send me videos of Ray Comfort sharing his faith using the 10 commandments. I would watch these occasionally just to say I did and tell my parents. I was a drunk and drank every day. On one night, I watched a video that I was sent by my parents, and truly realized how I was living, and how exceedingly sinful I was, and I saw how I stood before God. I realized finally, that I had been deceiving myself, and was headed for Hell! God saved me, and since that moment I haven’t drank a drop, and God has continued to work on every aspect of my life, changing it towards his liking.

I no longer live for myself, I do not drink alcohol, and have become more sensitive to sins that God hates.

Now I don’t worry about dying and heading for hell. I have the assurance of salvation.

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I am the Lords, and he will never let me go.
