Testimony
“24 Who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that having died to sin, we might live to righteousness; by His WOUNDS YOU WERE HEALED. 25 For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”
– 1 Peter 2:24-25
Saved as a freshman college student through repeated gospel presentations and bible Q&A’s by dear brothers at TBC. It was during this time that I truly realized that I had lived my entire life in complete disobedience against God and that His wrath was against me because of my sin. I was convicted and distraught over my sin against God and cried out to God for forgiveness like the dying man that I was. Then I at last understood from the scriptures that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was the only way that a hopelessly wicked sinner like me could be reconciled to God. I clung to Christ, believed that He died the death I should have died, and trusted in His perfect righteousness alone over me. Since then, I have known the unceasing joy of being saved and made one with God in Christ, of being adopted into the family of God at TBC as a fellow heir and son of God, and of knowing the love of God and loving God through the Spirit of God working through my redeemed life.
