I'm not as usual love sharing my testimony because it took long and I thought I won't need it so much. But, yeah, I think it's time to share my testimony. However, I won't share my testimony for long instead and I will share my testimony based on my time as shortened as possible with some questions (minimum four questions). I think it works. Well, let's go!
- When did you believe in Jesus?
When I didn't believe in Jesus, my life was devastated due to toxicity environments in that I was raised. I moved to another city to study college and started to live independently, I had many issues that I couldn't overcome. So, I attended the church---which actually I didn't want to get in and just waited up for a while but because I saw many people get in and I decided to get in and sat down behind---and sat down behind nearby television so I could watch the service on television. I cried when the song sang as it was really touching. Then, I went home and tomorrow had a deep discussion with the church staff about the church, Christianity, and Jesus. After that, I decided to want to get baptized and follow Jesus.
- Did you feel saved after getting baptized?
Actually, I felt that did, but my life is still struggling with addictions and life challenges. It means, I need some time to be consistent and try to make my path return back to Jesus, which is the only way. But, I believe that anyone who believes in Jesus will be saved and the sins will be forgiven. I want to die in the name of Jesus, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I need to show my life that becomes a Christian and a follower of Christ to the public where people do not know Jesus. That's such an important job for me to share the gospel.
- Do you believe that the church is a good place for faith growth?
Yes, totally right. The church is a good place for faith growth but it depends on how the church itself because we know that the church isn't sometimes a good place for faith growth. Therefore, I suggest that you need to make closer and build an intimate relationship with Jesus, which is more important than the church. I'm going to never say that I'm from a charismatic church, a Baptist church, or a Lutheran church, but I'm a Christian, that the job that actually I need is to build a relationship with Jesus. That's my job, not the church's job.
- What is the scripture that you love and consider powerful?
I think Matthew 5: 44. because this is powerful about how to pray and forgive the enemies who persecute you. Being a Christian, this is risky because people will hate you. You do not need to revenge but you need to pray and forgive the haters who dislike you. That has to be tough but we have to because we believe that Jesus is love, which is that really shows up to the world.
That's not my testimony that is over, but we need to go to testimony more! I hope my testimony will work and inspire you, that is what actually you need to have an intimate relationship with Jesus. That's really important!
Go to have an intimate relationship with Jesus!
Go to serve the Lord!
Grow the fruit of Spirit!
Trust God's plans!
Rejoice in any situation!
Witness and experience God's love!
Hallelujah and God bless!
