I saw life as an adventure, because YOLO. I was having lots of fun in my life, trying many new things, meeting many new people, wanting to experience the best that life could offer. However, the more fun and experiences I had, the bigger the hole of emptiness I felt in my heart, as nothing seemed to satisfy me. I questioned how it can be that I can’t seem to find satisfaction in whatever I am experiencing, and life just seemed so meaningless. There was no sense of true purpose as a human, everyone defined their own meaning. I had so many questions in my head, such as why am I here, what is the purpose of everything I do, seems like whatever we do here it will only end up in death. I wasn’t even sure if God existed. My existential struggle led me to want to find out the truth about Christianity as I admit I didn’t know my beliefs. I was desperately searching for the truth so I asked Beatrix (my senior in MAHSA University) to read the bible with me. She answered my questions, read the bible with me and it opened my eyes to the wisdom of God. I started attending TGG MAHSA and decided to commit to a healthy church that has faithful preaching.I have come to know who this God is and who I am in relation to Him. I am a depraved sinner deserving nothing but Gods wrath, but He has chosen me to be a part of His household, for that I am eternally grateful for this grace and mercy. I am now a new creation, no longer live according to my ways, but according to God’s way which is to be holy, to be Christlike. I would want to commit love God. In loving God, we love the Church. I love the church by committing to a healthy local church to build up one another to Christlikeness. My eyes have been opened again and again to the things of God - who He is, who we are and what he demands of us. The standards are high. The more I see clearer who God is and His standards, the more the sinner I see in myself. This makes me appreciate the depth of His love, and rely on His grace and mercy more each day knowing that outside of God there is only a fearful wrath that awaits you. I want to be a member of CERC because CERC is a church that places God at the center of our lives and this is not mere talk but making life decisions with the church’s concerns as priority, would be willing to call out the ugly side of things, to call out sin within each other, and to ensure sin does not lurk within the church.
