My Religion
I am a Christian, I do believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, and that he rose from the dead and accended into heaven to be with GOD.
Jesus has been a strong influence in my life, before I accepted Jesus as my savior and LORD, I was very disobediant and disrespectful, a rebel, a person trying to act tough, hitting people for no reason and just because I thought that it made me cool and attracted guys to me, but I've learned now that if someone doesn't like you for you they're not worth it, and since accepting Jesus to be my personal savior, I have peace in my life, my parents and I aren't fighting as often, and I feel like I finally found myself, it was like I was lost before, I didn't really know why I was alive, what was the purpose of life?
But now since accepting Jesus I feel not so empty, the piece of my life that was empty before isn't anymore. He changed my life, and I know that when I die I will go to heaven and have everlasting life with Jesus Christ.
Before ever hearing about our LORD Jesus Christ I was into evil things, I was into witchcraft, white magic, but still evil.
And when I first heard about Jesus I rejected Him, well that was a mistake, at that time my great-grandfather, Big Papa, was ill from Colon Cancer, but one day I came home to find out that my little brother, John, became ill with some sort of illness(I can't remember the name of the illness, it was a long name though.)and that he was in critical care, and one night coming home from visiting him I prayed to GOD, and said:
"God, please don't let John die, he's too young, and everyone loves him, please God, please!"
And we went to visit him a few more times and the doctor and nurse said that he was getting better, then one night when we went to visit him he died.
And I got so mad at God for taking my little brother away from me. Then about two months later my great-grandfather died, and again I was mad at God, but then I was only 10 or 11 years old I really didn't understand.
A year went by and I went to a new school, Elfers Christian School, and that past Easter I got a movie called "Left Behind", and I had never heard of the book "Left Behind" at that time, so I watched the movie, I saw it 10 or 12 times before the message actually clicked into my mind, and one night while watching the movie, It clicked:
"Jesus is really ganna come back, and I don't wanna be around when that happens!"
and so I prayed, and I was in tears when I was praying, I felt so guilty! And when I confessed my sins I felt a change in my heart, literally!
And If you don't know Jesus as your personal savior do it today or you'll be "Left Behind" when Jesus returns and those times won't be fun, it'll be the time of the Anti-Christ and he will rule for 7 years, which in those 7 years will contain all the plages of the Bible. (Refer to the Book of Revelation in the Bible)
And I don't want to be around during that time. And I don't think you do either, so if you don't know Jesus as your personal savior, please accept him today and ask him to forgive you of your sins and he will never forsake you no-mater what you've done drugs, lying,stealing, even having sex before marriage he will forgive you and as long as you have faith and repent of your sins everyday and read your Bible,of course,he will never leave you!
A few months ago my brother committed suicide and my family and I were devistated, but I was still comforted because I had Jesus! And He will comfort you too, but first you have to make a decision do you want Him in your heart or not?
If you don't know Jesus as your personal savior, say this prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I confess that I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and need forgivness. Thank you for sending your Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins, and I thank you for rasing him up from the dead. Today I ask Him to come into my heart to cleanse me from my sin and become my Lord and Savior. I give myself to you, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen!
Or if you want say your own prayer from the heart,and you will still be forgiven!
