Many of you have read about how I came to Christ. If not, follow this link.
There’s much, much more to the story, of course. But I had only 1,800 words to work with.
Each believer has come to Christ in his own way. No two roads are alike. Whether 50 years or 50 days ago, we can see, retrospectively, how Christ saved us and under what circumstances we went looking for him or tried to run from him. For some people, becoming “saved” was a dramatic, emotional event. For others, it was methodically studying the evidence for Christ’s claims — including his resurrection — and weighing arguments for and against, which convinced them that he indeed was who he said he was. Believing the claims and recognizing their need for a Savior, they took the leap of faith.
For me, it was a gradual process, a deepening need to confess and to see myself for what I really was. It was painful and joyous at the same time.
Testimonies fascinate me, and today I’d like to read yours.
Christ followers, what is your when-and-how-I-became-saved story?
