Becoming a Christian hasn’t been easy for me as I don’t live in a Christian home.But I am so happy that the Lord was able to work in my life.
My life before I became a Christian was filled with many bad things. I was always so moody and selfish and always wanted things to go my own way. However, one day after coming home, my mom told me and my sister that some people from Beeches Road had came and knocked on the door, inviting us to go to the Bible clubs.Anyway, I remember that I didn’t want to go. It was only a few months later that my sister started going faithfully and told me that I should go one of the days, so I went that following week to the youth rally, and remember coming home not liking it. It was several months later that they came and visited me, and asked me if I would go back, so I went more and more, and one night I stayed behind for the church service, and the pastor was preaching about that we are all sinners, and if we don’t trust in the Lord Christ as our Saviour we would end up hell. And I knew for sure that was not the place I wanted to be. It took me a week to actually stand up and say that I need to be saved, so on a Saturday night after youth rally, I asked one of the workers if I could stay behind and talk about how I could be saved. She told me many things and even showed me from the Bible, and that if I was to put my faith completely in him, he would fill me with joy and happiness. She also showed me from the Bible John 3 vs. 16 “For God so loved the world, he sent his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life”.And from that I learned that the only way I could be saved and go to heaven is by putting my faith in Jesus Christ, and asking him to save me from my sins. When I trusted in the Lord as my own personal Saviour I noticed that I was much happier, and the more I started to pray and read my Bible, the more I felt the joy inside me, and even when I went back to school my friends had noticed a complete change in me.When I started to realise that my life was turning around, I started to believe in the Lord more and more as I knew that the he was answering my prayers. After a few weeks of becoming a Christian, I told my close friend that I started to go to church and that I had trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ. On a Tuesday afternoon when one of the workers came from the church to pick me up for Sword Club, I quickly asked if my friend who I told that I was going to church could come. So we went down to her house and I had the great privilege to ask her whether or not she would like to come, and when she said, “Yes, I would like to come,” I felt really amazed that the Lord helped me to bring one more person to church.
As I grow as a Christian I would like to do many things that will be pleasing to the Lord. I am really pleased with my life know knowing that I have been saved by the one and only God, and that my sins have been completely forgiven. I am going to do my best to make sure that I am serving him every day of my life, because I know that the Lord knows everything I will be doing in my future. May the Lord bless me and help me to grow stronger in my faith, and lead me in the right direction in life.
