Living testimony by My friend Ragu.
He brought me up also out of
an horrible pit, out of the
miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath
put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and
fear, and shall trust in the LORD --Psalm 40:2-3
“I hate Jesus “with reddish eyes, I replied to my friend SUMIN in my
college days. For me, who came from a devout Hindu family and follow
the traditional very strongly, his view of Christianity was not a very positive
one.
I had seen
enough examples of Christians who were faithful to attend church but just as
quick to act like anyone else when they weren’t in the church building that he
felt Christians weren’t really different from anyone else. Yet, sumin talk
about Christ and how worshiping idols wasn’t right, I commented over him. He
replied “JESUS Loves You and He Needs
You and He s Going to Keep You From SINS “
These words are
still at my heart. Really when I was in Chennai, these words kept me from
worldly sins. From my experience I m penning down drunk, smoking and having
affairs with opposite sex are not only sins, If anybody hurts even by your
smile is also a sin. I have done it many times …….. Yes really many people are
got hurt by my sharpen words.
Few years
later, I went to work. One day as I had a chance to know the exact purpose of JESUS
[JESUS was pierced for our
transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought
us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.]
I was scared about my sins . These
words of the BIBLE said that I needed to believe in Jesus in order to escape
the flames of hell, so I prayed to God and asked Him to save me. I didn't know
exactly what I was doing. I just knew that I needed some help from God to stay
out of hell. It was like following the instructions on the back of the cake
mix--I wanted to go to heaven so I followed the instructions. I didn't
understand that being saved is about having a relationship with Jesus
Christ--but that's all right, God met me where I was at and in time, He
perfected my understanding. Slowly I grew in
hands of JESUS
In later days, I
thought that serving God would be such a bore. How wrong I was! My life is more
exciting than ever. I fell down from the life with JESUS. I was willing and
trying to do the wishes (sins) which are created by eyes and flesh. I wanted to enjoy their
perversions--drugs, adultery, fornication, addiction, pornography, perverse
language, evil imaginations, rebellion, lawlessness, pride, lewd television,
music and movies.
(1) God
does not exist,
(2) God
does not want to
or
(3) God can't
give you his evidence. So there is no god………….
A day came for
him. I was completely neglected by my sin from my family and friends and loved
one.., I left alone…… I cried and
cried. No one was there for me…. One
night I felt depressed and tried to sleep with my salty eyes, there …. Some
biblical words came to my ears, “ I m be
with u , look at me “ …. I replied
to that voice … “I can’t …… I ‘m not an
eligible to see you and come to you…… “ but,
at that night I slept very well without my knowledge. Next day I felt somebody
is carrying my burdens, because I felt myself very fresh... See really I was in
depressed more than 20 days, but that morning I enjoyed a freshness inside my
heart “ Yes friends , his hands touches me .. he carries my crosses , he was
wounded for saving me from hell…. Those words “ I m be with u , look at me “
are from my SAVIOUR to save me,
“I went to church after a long time.. There I didn’t listen
anything… “I m be with u “ it is only
thing I was getting in my ears….
He gave
deliverance from my sins, He saved me…..
Yes …
My
Savior loves, My Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God: He was, my God; He is
My God is always gonna be……
My Savior's always there for me
My God: He was, my God; He is
My God is always gonna be……
When you make the wise decision of making Jesus Christ the Lord of your life (instead of yourself), He will save your soul and He will conform you to His own image, righteous and holy. As David said in Psalm 23, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever." As a child of God, you are joint-heir to everything that the Creator of the universe has, yet you are to be the humblest and meekest of persons.
After I started to walk with the Lord Jesus, my life completely changed
If Jesus took a sinner like me and made me clean, He can do the same for anybody willing to renounce their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Follow Him. Repent you , and believe the gospel. The following scripture has been placed on my heart of late:
Behold, I will do a
new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a
way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. This people have I formed for
myself; they shall shew forth my praise. Isaiah 43:19, 21
The wilderness and desert mentioned in this verse symbolize the landscape of
my old, sinful life. God miraculously made a pathway and a river in the midst
of my barrenness. Hallelujah! Will you let him do the same for you? Talk to the
Lord Jesus and tell Him that you repent of your sins, ask Him to take away the
guilt, tell the Lord that you believe in Him--that He died on the cross for
your sins and rose from the dead the third day. Tell the Lord that you give Him
your life and that you'll follow Him. Then thank Jesus for saving your soul.
