My Testimony

I feel like a benefit of Eternal life is how He can reform your entire like and move your life in a direction for good!

I’ve known about God for as long as I can remember. I believed He was real, but I didn’t live my life like I actually believed it. I used foul language, made crude jokes, carried a lot of anger, and hardly prayed or talked to God. Even though I went to a Christian school, with chapel every Wednesday and daily Bible classes, I wasn’t really listening or letting any of it change me. When I was about 15, I was scrolling YouTube one night and clicked on a random video. It started with a simple picture: a sheep and a pig. The speaker explained that when a sheep sees mud, it avoids it, it doesn’t want to get dirty. But when a pig sees mud, it runs right into it, rolling around and enjoying it. Then he asked, “Which one are you?” At first, I thought, I must be a sheep. I wanted to believe I was clean. But then he said, “Now imagine the mud is sin. Which one are you then?” That question stopped me. In that moment I realized I wasn’t the sheep at all. I was the pig. I wasn’t resisting sin, I was rolling around in it, enjoying it without caring how filthy it made me. That realization broke me. I started crying because I could finally see the truth about how I had been living. But it was also the moment God opened my eyes. From then on, I set out on a journey to actually know Him, to live like I believed in Him, and to follow His Word. Since then, He’s been transforming me. I’ve learned to control my anger, to guard my words, and to lean on Him in prayer. It’s been a gradual but powerful change. That night on YouTube was when I decided not just to know about God, but to truly follow Him.

Through many situations where i've had to turn to the Lord and being in His Word I am confident that I am washed in His blood and my sins are paid, and with that I am sure that I will receive the gift of heaven.
