I leave for NY in one hour. I know that God is going to do great things in and through me. I will write about it all when I come back. For now, I leave you with my testimony~ this is how I am going to present it to the teens we are working with. God bless!
Even at a young age, I knew enough to know that I was NOT perfect. I admitted that I had sinned- done wrong things. Around the age of four, my mom showed me in the Bible the result of our sin: Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death..." I also understood that I could do nothing to save myself, because Isaiah 64:6 says that even our most righteous deeds are as filthy rags.
But God didn't leave me in my lost and sinful state. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 explains, "...that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: " I trusted that Jesus had taken the punishment for my sin, and believed that He made a way for me to go to heaven.
As a result of me admitting my sin, and believing that Jesus was the only way to heaven, I called on Jesus and asked Him into my heart. For the last 14 years, I have grown in my love and knowledge of Christ. He bought me with the price of His blood, and now I seek to live for Him. It isn't easy to deny myself, but it is soo worth it to live life God's way!
If you haven't already, I challenge you to take three steps to salvation in Jesus: Admit that you are a sinner, Believe that Jesus died in your place to pay for your sin, and Call on the Lord to save you. If you have accepted Christ, I then challenge you to live you life for God: obey His Word, and follow His commands. I can say from experience: God is good!
