Hey!

[Shanya]

I'm new and don't really know what to say.  So here's a little bit about me:

My real name is Sarah and I'm a fairly new Christain.
Though I get on quite a few other forums, none of them are Christian  and I wanted somewhere where I could talk to other people about Christ and get answers.

And that's about it. I hope to talk to you all soon!

Welcome to the board. So, you’re a new Christian? Tell us about your experience, how you got saved and all.

[Shanya]

Okay, here goes.

I remember I was feeling doubtful about Christianity because it was hard to believe that Jesus really loved me and I thought that I would have to be instantly perfect in everything I did. Not only that, I had heared all these stories from people who they were saved, but haden't really given themselves to God. I didn't want to think I was saved if I wasn't.
Days went by and I kept feeling bad. I couldn't sleep very well and it seemed like there was something missing in my life.And so, I went and talked with my mom about it. She showed answered my questions and showed me verses in the Bible. She explained why Jesus came just to die and how Satan can decieve us even when we have accepted the Lord. I learned that even Christians aren't perfect.
After a while I knew that it was time to get rid of my doubt and accept Christ into my life. And I prayed that God would come into my heart.
Since then I've tried to read my Bible every day and grow from it.

That is great! Welcome to the family.

Thanks for the testimony neighbor!  Enjoy the forum and feel free to ask any questions you need answered.  Just be sure to pour each answer given through God's word.  What comes back through is gold.  Keep it!  What doesn't agree...toss it!

God bless!

Hi, and welcome.

Hi Sarah! So good to have you here! There are so many people who have had the same experience you have! Growing up in a Christian home does not automatically guarantee you will follow Jesus; everyone must choose for themselves. Don't ever doubt that you've made the right choice, 'cause Jesus chose you first!
