Salvation

Jul 04

I am Ally car loan finally getting Order zithromax online around to Diflucan dose joining my Can zoloft cause weight gain the church I have been attending for a little while now. As a part of joining there is a Membership Agreement that you have to fill out. On the back of that form they ask for you salvation experience. Here is what I wrote:

“I was raised in a Christian home and I heard the gospel from my parents and my older brother from the time I was born. I grew up attending Abilene Bible Church with my family. I was saved by God’s grace when I was very young. My mom tells me that I was five when I told her that I had accepted Jesus as my Savior. I don’t remember the exact day (I am sure my mom has it written down somewhere) but I do remember a change in me that was a definite result of Christ replacing my heart of stone with a heart of flesh that was malleable in His able hands. Life went on and by the time I was in the last years of high school I had been brought low by the deceit of sin in the world that so surrounded me. I was in sin and did not even acknowledge it. I knew it but I did not want to change and did not see any reason to change. I was blinded by sin. I existed in the state for four years or so but then God began calling to me. He renewed the spirit within me apart from anything I wanted or could have done. This was a great assurance to me at that time of the sureness of my salvation that I claimed before.

Growing up I had been envious of people who had a saving experience where they saw themselves rescued from a life of sin. I did not have this as I was saved at an early age. Maybe God allowed me to go through this period to give me this change-of-heart experience. I know he put me through this time to prepare me for future ministries I have had and will have with people He has sovereignly put in my life.

Going back to God calling me back to Himself. Over a period of a few months He worked in me a gave me a zeal for His truth and His love for others. At this point I felt it was finally time to be baptised in obedience to His Word. I was baptised in October of 2001 at Calvary Bible Church by my dad. Since then I have been continually seeking to be like Christ. I have had my spiritual ups and downs but these have only drawn me closer to my Savior. My desire is to server Him in any way He calls me and to share His amazing saving grace with all I come in contact with either by my words or actions. My goal is to store up as much spiritual treasure in heaven as I can while I am on this earth so that when I get to heaven and meet Jesus face to face I can cast it all at my God and Savior’s feet.”

I am sure I will add more to this through the years but this is very briefly how I came to know Christ and how I want to know Him more and more as my life goes on.
