My Testimony

Who and what am I - Christ's follower

My name is Jonathan. I lived in a Christian family and am one of ten. I have 5 brothers and 4 sisters.
Ever since I was born my parents had always taught me from Gods Word, so I had heard the salvation message numerous times but when I was young I never thought much of it. When I was eleven years of age, two of my siblings were saved and wanted to be baptized. Well, I thought, I'd better be baptized too, as I had always believed that Christ was my Saviour and that He died for me. So, I was baptized - well, not really and I will explain why.

One day, I now being thirteen, we were all having family time, and my dad was reading the bible and explaining what true salvation is and why Christ died for us. I started thinking, and felt very convicted and unsure if I was actually saved, despite already having been "baptized" two years earlier. Once my Dad had finished reading the Bible, I sat down at the table with my Bible in front of me and began to think. Was I saved? I came to the conclusion pretty quickly - no, I wasn’t.
I had never truly from my heart believed on Christ, repented of my unrighteous life and accepted Him as my personal Saviour, as John 3:16 states: ”For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
So it was at this point that I truly believed and trusted on Christ as my Saviour. I felt so happy and excited and I wanted to tell the world. I was later baptized as a symbol and testimonial of my faith and trust in Christ.

​

My testimony is this, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour from my heart I trust and belief in Him. He is my Rock and Fortress.

So lets take out our Bibles and learn the Truths of Gods Word together as we serve Him in our lives.
