My Conversion Story
(Life Testimony)
I had been the kind of person who's reluctant to go to church every Sunday. I didn't like reading Bible because I always had a hard time understanding it. But one day, I was reading a certain chapter of the Bible and I was surprised by the life of Moses and how the law of God created; then I started to be thirsty from the Word. Praise God for leading people to translate the Bible in different languages and dialects. I started reading the Bible in October 2006 and had this mission to know who He is.
I had this goal to start from the very first page down to Revelations.
One day, the Pastor visited me to encourage me to go to church so that they CAN pray for me. But I was confused: He told me the reason why my prayers were not answered is that I am full of sins. So it led me to confusion and decided to know God more by studying the scriptures alone.
While reading Genesis to Malachi, my response was full of hatred. I hate to see people sinning, I hate to see them not get punished. It gave me hatred, vengeance, discrimination, and I became irrational, close-minded, and easily angered. But when I started reading the New Testament, my heart was cut by the words of Jesus. I was touched. I wept and remembered how wicked I was. During those realizations, it was easy to change gradually. So I made agreements with God: To let me live until I finish reading the Bible because I still have questions need to be answered.
I have not yet finished reading the Bible, but questions have already been answered; it gave me peace of mind. I asked God to get my life and I will just serve Him in heaven to be His angel.
I finished reading Revelations in July 2012. May 2012 was the start of Hope Life Group here in Davao. During those times, I felt that I belong in a family. There is life together with my friends because every time we gather, we talk about Jesus and the Good News.
It changed me a lot.
Psalm 46:1
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Cor 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:
The old has gone, the new is here!
