Before Jesus Changed My Life

Before Jesus changed my life, I was very much living for the world and seeking the approval of others. I cared more about what people and the world thought of me more than what God did and hoped that I could do everything perfectly. This led to worry and stress about situations and about what people thought about me and if I looked good enough or cool enough to them. I often times found myself just trying to fit in.

How Jesus Changed My Life

I grew up going to church occasionally and knew about God, but I never really knew him and had a relationship with him until going into my senior year of high school, when my girlfriend and I started a Bible study together. This Bible study through the book of John opened my eyes to God and made me realize there is something more to live for. After previously searching for comfort and acceptance in the world and finding nothing, I can confidently say that I have now found that comfort I was looking for in Jesus Christ. I no longer worry about what people think or believe of me, which has relieved a great stressor in my life. I now have hope in Jesus, which has given me something greater to live for.

My Life After Jesus Saved Me

After giving my life to Christ, I now have a hope I did not have before. Romans‬ 6‬:‭23‬ says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” This displays the hope I have, which is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. This hope encourages me to share the Gospel with others and find true joy and peace in the presence of the Lord so that they may also obtain the eternal life through Jesus Christ that I have.
