I used to frequent clubs, smoke whatever came my way, and date many wild girls.
Many people in this day and age are wondering if God still has the power to change lives in a dramatic way as He used to in the past. Well, I can tell you that God's Word today still has its ancient power, and in this article you will read the testimony of one person, living in Hungary, whose life has been completely turned around. This is what he has to say.
I used to frequent clubs, smoke whatever came my way, and date many wild girls. My body piercings would draw plenty of attention as I often showed them off. I was very belligerent to my parents and everyone around me, except my party buddies.
I enjoyed everything I could and with zest. But, when I reached the age of 21, my life turned so crazy and messed up, I had to move away from my home and live with relatives in another city.
A change of scenery brings new perspective
I found work but my life was still confusing. My aunt and cousin were both Christians, but I did not know what that meant. Sometimes, my cousin would invite me to a Bible study but I would refuse each time she asked. Then something odd occurred and made me curious about God and the Bible.
My aunts Bible sat on the table and I thought to pick it up and read, but did not want anyone to know so I just left it alone. The same day, I was visiting my cousin and she had a Bible sitting on her table, too. I thought it was odd that I would see two Bibles in a day. Thats when I felt a stirring inside to know more.
I decided to go to a Bible study with my cousin. After a few visits and studying the Scriptures, I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and was baptized right away.
After my conversion, I completely turned my back on my old life. I even began to preach the Gospel to everyone I met.
My parents did not like what happened to me. They thought I joined a cult. But they had seen a change in me and eventually they also received Jesus Christ.
My life is so different now and I am so grateful that the Lord saved me from my sins and gave me this new life. I am also thankful for the Bible study books that help me understand and remember the things I learn from Gods Word.
That was the testimony from a young man in Hungary, but it could so easily have been the testimony of countless thousands of people around the world who are finding new life, new hope, and real meaning to life, through reading Gods Word.
