How long have you been saved?

[solo66 man]

How long has it been since you were saved and how old were you when you were saved.
I was saved over seven years ago at the age of 46. My life has changed tremendously.

It was 1976 and I was 6 years old. After a brilliant flash of lightning and a loud peal of thunder my life of sin just rolled away! OK, I am exagerating.....

But honestly, I am thankful I was so young. I believe Jesus kept me out of a lot of trouble.

I was 8.

But I grew up with a Christian God-fearing family.

Growing up my parents would take us to church maybe once a month(Catholic) but I was not saved until later in my life.

I can remember saying the sinners prayer when I was maybe 13 or so, and have said it many times since. However recently(maybe over the last year or so) I am just now starting to FEEL saved.

It is just over a year or so that I have really started to take my salvation seriously.

I can NOW say I am saved.

i was saved at the beginning of my senior year of high school back in September '98. I can't believe it's been so long.

I was saved January 15, 1989. 13 years ago. I was 22 years old.

I started living on that day. I was given a new life and a new nature. I have never been the same since.



God bless,

I was saved October 21, 1988. I was 30.

I really did become a new creature that day, and God's constantly making that new creature into something presentable.

I was saved on April 2, 1989 at the age of 29 - almost 13 years ago. Rescued from a pit of darkness. I am so grateful for what Jesus has done for me. Thank you Jesus!

I was saved when I was 10 years old, about 20 years ago.

I was 12, 18 October 1980.

My mom had just got out of the occult a month or two before, primarily due to one of our neighbour's. They were two of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. They were not into the hi pressure evagelism routine, they were just friends who would visit, always had this open invitation to join them in church. I'm sure that it's through there prayers and ease of answering questions, that led us to salvation.

I wonder sometimes, if it had not been for Joyce and Barkley, what path would my life have taken.

I know this is kind of a long answer, but the question got me to thinking.

I was saved when I was 10 (July 25, 1993 to be exact)...but I fell away really bad in high school, and didn't even consider myself a Christian anymore, even though I still went to church and youth group and everything...

Last year (during my senior year), I started going to a Bible study (my brother dragged me kicking and screaming...not quite, but close!), and everything we learned just all of a sudden clicked...it all started to seem real to me again.

I rededicated my life to Christ last July 5th.

[Martin]

I was saved in May 1980 and baptised in water on Easter Sunday 1982, when I was 33 - pretty significant, don't you think?

 

[solo66 man]

That is beautiful. My favorite kind of evangelism.
God Bless you.

It's God's concept.
