Before Jesus Changed My Life
At one point I sinned to sin and I never wanted to repent. I thought I could solve all problems by myself but always fell short. I turned to alcohol to help my "spiritual need" but it only drove me further from God.
How Jesus Changed My Life
I was invited to church by my friend Antony and realized I had been missing church deeply. I learned that the gospel of Jesus is the good news proclaiming that God's Kingdom will be realized and I’ll become part of this world with Jesus as King of Kings and Lord of Lords that He has defeated death and that believers or overcomers of this world will inherit everlasting life. John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Thinking about Jesus's sacrifice on the cross which made our sins forgivable and made us savable makes me fully embrace him as my Savior. I recently felt led by God to get baptized out of obedience to Christ. Jesus commands baptism in Matthew 28:18-20.
My Life After Jesus Saved Me
I kept going to church for a year and a half and have been digging into the Bible to fill me up. When I turn to God in my time of need and for anything I always feel his strength and encourages me. There is still much temptation to not do so, but I know even if my faith is not always the strongest I will have eternal life through Jesus Christ by at the end of the day knowing I’ve been saved through Jesus Christ. John 17:3 says "This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent".
