My Testimony: (We encourage members to share briefly about how their faith in Christ has impacted their lives.)

My wife and I had just started going to church for the first time. Pastor Jim asked if he could visit us at home and we agreed. He brought church elder, Ed, with him and proceeded to ask us a series of questions: "Do you believe in God?" I could only answer truthfully by saying "sometimes". "Do you know that we're all sinners?" Yes, I knew that from my Catholic upbringing, and I felt it inside. "Do you know Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins?" Yes, I knew that. "Do you know there's a way to know for certain that you're going to Heaven?" I didn't know that. Then he said, "If you simply believe that Jesus died for your sins and accept God's forgiveness, you will go to Heaven." WOW! This was inconceivable to me! Could this really be true, or was Pastor Jim just confused? It was like my heart and my mind were battling each other. I wanted to believe, but it seemed too simple. However, something seemed to be drawing me. I thought, "I have to get to know Jesus." This idea, "to know Jesus", suddenly seemed new, fresh, and exciting to me. Simultaneously, it seemed familiar and older than time itself. This was the beginning of my personal relationship with Jesus, my new life! For the first time I could see my sin and anger for what they really were, and I knew that God could see them, too. But more than that, I could see that he loved me and forgave me. I knew that He would always be with me, guiding me and giving me strength, hope, peace and comfort. For the first time in my life I no longer felt empty. I knew that I was safe! Shortly after this, my wife and son accepted Christ, too.
