My Testimony: All my life I would have considered myself to be a Christian. I grew up believing that God and Jesus were real, but it had never impacted my heart in a real way. From a young age, I sought to be a moral person and wanted to have the image of being “good”. In my junior year of college, I came to know that scripture says no one is good, except God. I learned that faith in Jesus as my savior and repentance were what would save me. This truth freed me from the desire to be good enough and allowed me to surrender and rest knowing that Jesus truly is good enough. Jesus saved me, not my good behavior, and now I get to come to God as a daughter and as his beloved. God truly replaced my heart of stone with a heart of flesh and gave me a new desire to honor him with my life. The things I had been seeking to satisfy myself with all my life were found in the person of Jesus Christ. I now know that my sole purpose in this world is to glorify and love God and to make his name known until He returns.
