Salvation and a joyful day in my Life

One day, I have come to know the truth about life and it made me definitely happy. I have known the living God and His love that no one and nothing can compare. I realized all these things when I watched Bible Seminar.

At first, I don't have any interest in this kind of thing. The Bible Seminar has 5 sessions. Ever since I was young, my aunt will always bring me with her in the church building, every Saturday, Sunday and also when there's summer reatreat. I always agree to go but I am not sure why my aunt keep on attending. I don't even know what "salvation" means and they always say this word. For me during that time, "salvation" is meaningless. I think this way because I don't understand yet what this is for. I keep on thinking and thinking the purpose of attending church services until God gave me chance to watch Bible Seminar.

However, during the first session, I don't want to attend and I don't have the heart to listen to that session. I still attended. During 2nd to 4th session, I still felt the same way. It's like I don't want to attend but there's something in me that is seeking. My mom and my aunt told me to attend and finish the seminar and I am thankful that I obeyed them. After the fourth session, I don't feel any laziness anymore instead, I am curious what will be the fifth session and I really want to know. Even though, I am the only one who attended it doesn't stop me from listening and finished the session. It comes to the point that the Pastor asked me "Where will your spirit go after death?", it made me wonder, what if rapture came, can I be with God or I will be left out? Such a difficult question for an eleven-year old girl like me. I thought I can't answer it until God helped me find the answer. God gave me His precious blood, He was crucified on the cross because of sinners like me. I've been rejecting His love for a long time but He still waited for me to understand. Because of His blood and wounds I was saved from eternal hell.

Just like what is written in the Bible:

But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5

And because of that, I am grateful because God waited for me patiently and He endure me and my stubbornness for a long time. It's difficult to explain the happiness that I've felt from the day I was saved till now but I am really happy.

I am praying that my father in flesh will be able to know the same salvation I obtain. I hope his heart will be softened soon and I believe that I can wait and also God can wait for him. However, there's a limitation and 2nd coming of Jesus Christ is coming so I know I have double time in evangelizing my father and my friends.

Now I am 13 years old and almost 2 years in faith, I have struggles in life but I have peace in my heart because God is with me.

~This is sister's in Christ testimony of her salvation. I am always amazed that at a young age, she already understand and experienced God's grace. It made me realized that in God nothing is impossible, as long as we're seeking, we will find Him and be save. Thanks for reaching this part of the blog!
