Before, about 5 yrs ago, I walked down the isle and said I want to believe in Jesus. I didn't do much more than believe in Him. I still held onto some sins, as if to say "Here Lord, i'll give you eternity, but right now I want to live for me".
Well, lets just say the walls came crashing down last week. My faith was not nearly as strong as I thought. So I was reading an article and it became clear to me that I may not be saved at all! Everything then made sense, and I ask the Lord to save me, because I was a terrible, wretched person. Immediately I felt a peace and joy that I never felt before. The things of this world no longer matter to me. I feel His presence, and I want to follow Jesus as closely as I can. I FEEL I AM NOW TRULY SAVED! Jesus is not rules or restrictions, Jesus is FREEDOM FROM SIN! I have now decided to use my gift of music and voice to praise Him. I hope I can do the best I can.
Believing He was the Savior, but not keeping His commandments is two different things. I feel that I drew near with my lips, but far with my heart. I feel clensed, and happy. "If you love me, keep my commandments" I wasn't keeping His commandments, therefore I wasn't loving Him. PRAISE THE LORD, I SAW THE LIGHT!
