I am a Christian because of what God has done in saving a people for himself and for his glory. A life lived for God (hopefully). I used to live thinking that there is no meaning to life because what’s the point of the pain and suffering we are facing in this world. I came to Christianity because I wanted God to be on my side. If things are terrible now in this world, wouldn’t it mean that only God can change things around and make things better? I gave God a try for a better life. (silly me, thinking I am the one who chooses God). Through going to SOLIDD, TGG, and then Sundays, I learned more about who this God is and what is His plan to save a people for himself to worship and glorify Him. The text that really hit a turning point would be Genesis & Romans understanding how God is the creator God that has created and I owe my existence and life to him. Everything I have is from God, and that helped me then to work out how to live a life that glorifies my creator. I learned the most from GGs where I could ask questions, and the leaders spent time explaining the texts to us. I came to understand the meaning of my life, and my existence in this world and how God designed things to be. From the gospel, I see my sins against a holy God and can only depend on Christ alone for my salvation.
