>>13334485Look, I'm not a Christian because I found overwhelming physical evidence, I'm not a Christian because I wanted to turn my life around, I'm not a Christian because any philosopher made a great arguemnt.
I'm a Christian because I tried every other religious practice, often speaking poorly about Christians, seeing them as stupid and naive. I learned and practiced LoA, occult practices, transcendental meditation and eastern practices.
This all lead me down a dark path, reality started to fall apart, my sense of self did too. I felt an emptiness and lack of life that I cannot explain. I had weird dreams, terrible feelings of dread constantly. These practices drew me deeper and deeper into despair, giving me a brief moment of "peace" whilst doing it, only to further my emptiness after the fact.
One evening, I did as I had done in a dream (for no explainable reason) and called out Jesus is King, something inside me prompted me to do it. I did, and it healed my head and my heart. I experienced a presence of absolute love and forgiveness, in my heart, body and soul. It felt as if I took a breathe of life and it filled me with peace unlike anything I've experienced before.
I looked up other's testimonies of being converted from "new age" or just finding the Lord and saw parallels unexplainably similar to mine.
After this I started to read the Bible and it came to life, I would feel drunk almost, full of joy and life after every page.
Since then I've seen many prayers answered, many amazing encounters where I've realized there's no thing as mere coincidence.
I was saved, without deserving it, and to deny Jesus would be like denying everything I hold true. For Jesus is the Only Truth I can really hang onto.
We are saved by Grace, not by being "good persons" or going to Church or by following the Law.
>Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
