I was converted during family Bible studies when I was 11 years old. My parents are very good Christians. Every night we used to have a family Bible study. One time my father was teaching about what salvation is all about. Previously I used to think I was a Christian because I was going to church every week and I read Bible stories. When my father started teaching on salvation I started asking myself, “Am I really a Christian?”

So one night after Bible study I went to my dad and asked him how one can be saved. My dad explained to me using the Bible and said Jesus Christ’s death is the only way for salvation – not works or going to church or doing other good things. He read to me Romans 3:23; 6:23; 10:9-10, John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, and Acts 16:30. On that day I gave my life to Jesus Christ.

After a year I was baptized and my life has been wonderful knowing I am saved. Knowing that someone died for my life makes it so valuable, loved, and treasured. There have been some failures from my side but I thank God that He helps me. He picks me up and cleanses me, forgives me, and I am thankful to have such a loving God. But I always ask that I can live a life that is pleasing, holy, and acceptable to His ways and grow more and more into His Son’s image.
