My Testimony

To introduce my new blog, I have been journaling about the ways in which God has worked in my life to bring me closer to Him. Most of us who are believers can look back to milestones that led to our salvation, even before we knew we needed Him. Certainly we can see the influences that brought us to Him, both positive and negative.

The realization that we are sinners is the first real shocker that we have to deal with. Then we find that sinners are exactly who Jesus came to earth to save. He actually gave His life for us - but He didn't stay dead! Someone has told us these truths either in a Sunday School class, Good News Club or just in conversations about God. I first responded to the message of the gospel in a revival meeting when I was nine years old. I was old enough to know that I had a decision to make - and I wanted to receive Jesus as my personal Savior.
I think I already loved all that I had heard about Him. I was like one of those little children in the picture book who came to Jesus and then experienced having Him put His arms around them, saying, "Let the little children come unto me and forbid them not - because of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

Have you received Jesus as your personal Savior? If so, how old were you and where did it take place?
