Below are true stories written by our church family members about their personal faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible states:
"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. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
John 3:16-18
I grew up with parents that taught me Biblical truth. As a result of their ministry in my life I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ into my heart at the age of 5. During my teenage years I often wondered if I completely understood all about salvation at such a young age and I questioned my early decision. So I knelt down beside my bed one night and reconfirmed my salvation. I know I am a child of my Heavenly Farther because of Christ alone.
I've gone though many struggles with issues in this life and I've come to realize that no matter how hard I try, everything I do is vain unless I do it in the Lord’s strength. The only way to be free from sin and this world's temptations is to rely fully on God alone. The Bible says in the book of John "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."
