A v draft testimony i made in 10 mins :)thought i could share it out ~
I am from a christian family background from young. When I was still young, I recalled that I am always being force by my parents to go to church. From young, I've always been attending the church's sunday school as I was young then. The only thing that made me look forward to wasn't God, but the friends I made there. However, my friends won't many either. Sometimes, I even attempted to pretend oversleeping to "escape" from "schooling" on Sunday.
The reason for me to be a christian was at first, for my parents but lately, I realise how this belief was so real to me and now it isnt my parents belief but mine. It has always been very amazing and breathtaking to see how christ shaped me.
In Christ, we believe that there is a God, a trinity God( the son, the father, the holy spirit). And that God has sent he's only son,Jesus(which is a long long time ago), to die for us. This is so that he can redemm us from the sins we have done. I wasnt really buying the idealogy that Jesus really just gave us this entitlement just for free? As the world we are in now, we know that nothing is free. To me God was just some very distance thing that I don't know how to describe. I know that he created all things but i was doubting whether he understands us, and even listens to us. Everytime i attend sunday school, the teacher always tell us that Jesus loves you, and i was already not buying it. When i was 16, i got to learn more about HIM, and started to find answers to life. After a revival camp i went, my heart change and am faithfully serving and learning God's words everyday in christ. What changed me? Jesus's love. Through the camp, I dwelled in God's words and I got to experience him face to face by the way how I see people's life change in him. The songs that sang, the bible verses that spoke the same thing God's love. Do you believe that he can save you from sin and make you a new man/woman? Do you believe that he loves you? I do. How about you?
My experience in christ was never smoothsailing, many ups and downs, but something that i cherish about my faith is that, as I age, my faith will only gets closer to God. He has a plan for me and I know that they are good. A verse to share "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)"
My change through christ were the ways I handle, treat stuff at hand. How I can love others despite the many faces. How peaceful i am through him. I may be a sinner still but I'm learning to be like Jesus.
