Twenty-Five years ago today I placed my faith in Jesus Christ
April 4, 2024 by SLIMJIM
On this day twenty-five years ago I placed my trust in Jesus Christ.
It was Easter morning in 1999. I was a kid that got expelled for a year from high school.
I had nothing to do.
So, I started reading the Bible.
This went on for months.
Months of also listening to Christian radio of preachers and teachers.
My parents freaked out since my dad was an atheist and my mom was a Buddhist.
Coming to trust in Jesus as Savior and being saved through the works and person of Jesus Christ changed my life’s direction.
It changed my trajectory of wanting to be in the military and politics, a passion of mine as a kid.
God increase my passion for knowing Him and His Word.
The door was open for me to be a Pastor and study God’s Word and teach it.
In my wildest dream as a kid who got expelled in my Sophomore year in High School, I would never have imagined the idea I would be teaching other things. My grades were as low as 1.7 for my GPA for one semester, and I was lacking a lot of self-discipline.
But more than even the trajectory of my present life, coming to trust in Jesus changed my eternity. The Good News in the Bible promises that if we see the sinfulness of our sins and realize we deserve the wrath of God, and if we come to see that Christ came to live a perfect life and die for sinners, and that if we trust in Jesus died for our sins, we can be saved. This act of Jesus demonstrates the love, mercy, and compassion of God.
I was reminded and encouraged yesterday that when I do ministry and there are others around that doesn’t always mean everyone is a Christian. We had news that during a training someone who helped us logistically and administratively in another country found out she was not saved and came to trust in Jesus. Our team was so busy preaching and teaching to equip pastors as our focus and yet God intended that our teaching last January to save this woman.
Being reminded of that from yesterday I want to say this: If you are reading this and do not know Him, please trust in Jesus Christ as Savior today, to be saved from Hell and the wrath of God.
