Before Jesus Changed My Life

I grew up in a church my whole life. I knew of Jesus, but I didn't know Jesus. I knowingly sinned and thought I was good cause Jesus died for me. I swore all the time, I went to church, but didn't want to be there, I wanted to live a life for the world.

How Jesus Changed My Life

Jesus made himself known to me, towards the end of my senior year of high school. I was in a service for my senior class and was a part of the worship team for that service. And during the song "My Lighthouse" it was like time stopped. And I saw something, someone in the distance. At that moment, everything clicked, I wasn't alone anymore. All of the hurt I had gone through and it the weight was lifted off my shoulders. I knew the someone off in the distance, was a Savior that wanted me. And his name is Jesus. After that happened, I couldn't stop talking about it, still gives me chills every time I talk or think about it. I believe and know that the Gospel is the good news. It's the story that Jesus died on the cross for our sin. He chose to die so that we could live in Him. Romans 6:23 talks about "the wages of sin is death." We can't do it on our own. Jesus paid the price we never could. And John 6:14 is a great verse that proclaims Jesus is the our Savior. "Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life."

My Life After Jesus Saved Me

Living now is so much better than my life has been. Being firm in my faith and knowing that Jesus wants me. That He is better than I can ever imagine. And that He calls me by my name and not my sin. I get to tell others about the God that loves all of us. No matter what you've been through, he's always there and always will be.
