My Christian Testimony!!!!!


A dear friend has brought to my attention that I have not shared my testimony on this blog yet.  So today I thought I would finally share it!!!

Let me tell you about how Awesome my Jesus is! A few years ago this girl you see today was a wretch; thoroughly found unrighteous and lacking in merit and worth.  But all of that changed when Jesus Christ saved me!!!!  I am now able to go to HEAVEN and experience endless JOY.  Not by anything I've done but based upon what the Lord Jesus has done for me.  When He died on that tree and the Father poured his WRATH upon him, he accepted what should have been MY burden to bear. 



"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace though the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." - Romans 3:23-26


One thing you should know about Jesus is that he just doesn’t save, but Radically saves.

“Your life will no longer be your life but his life, your time will no longer be your time but his time, your possessions are no longer your possessions but his possessions, your future is no longer your future but his future, your treasure is no longer your treasure but his treasure. And he will cause you to transfer all that you are and all that you have to ALL that HE IS.” - Steve Lawson

 
 I look at the person I was and the person I am today and I'm constantly amazed at God’s Mercy and Grace. If he can change me, he can change you. He is calling out to you today.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” –Matthew 11:28-30


You must REPENT of your sins and Believe the word of God!!!


IMPORTANT!!!! -->

"The Basis of Genuine Assurance

  • True conversion: A true Christian is a new creation and will live a life that reflects God's radical work of re-creation in his/her life. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
  • You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? Matthew 7:16
  • Assurance is based upon self-examination in the light of Scripture. Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you unless indeed you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5
  • These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:13

Test of Biblical Assurance

1 John 1:5-7 (Walking in the Light), 1 John 1:8-10 (Confession of Sin), 1 John 2:3-4 (Obedience), 1 John 2:9-11 (Love for the Brethren), 1 John 2:15-17 (Hatred for the World), 1 John 2:24-25 (Perseverance in Doctrine), 1 John 3:10 (Righteousness), 1 John 4:13 (Spirit's Testimony), Hebrews 12:5-8 (Discipline)"

 YHWH deserves our best....Develop a relationship with him through prayer, Read his word daily, Love one another (especially those who hate you), Overcome and avoid the sins of the flesh through Christ (Philippians 4:13 ), Keep your mind set on things with eternal value, Develop a hunger for righteousness, and SHARE what the Lord has done for you with everyone you meet!!!


Surrender your life to Christ today!!!  ETERNITY is so Close!!!
