I'm quite new to christianity. If anything, I am a novice in all aspects, but I try a diligently to do the best I can, as close as I can to what the Lord expects of me.
I was pagan for most of my life. I really didn't have any other influences otherwise. I stumbled on christianity by accident, but what a mavelous one it was.
I was studying world religions in order to broaden my pagan path, and to be able to connect with others paths on my once pagan based website, when I cracked open a bible. It spoke to me like no other faith ever has. I soon began to fear that I would really experience hell. You see, until then, I had never believed in hell, demons, or the devil. I can now see where hell was greatly influencing my life.
In complete fear, I had an urgency to know more. I studied for hours, days, weeks, months, and probed my friends and family that were familiar with the Lord. I finally had the answer. I needed to read the story of Christ. Through researching the story of Christ, I found a love stronger than any I have ever witness, and immediately gave myself over to him. I didn't know what to say. I begged the Lord to forgive me for my ignorance and pompase life. I pleaded that he might save me from hell, like he had the man next to him on the cross. I gave him my life and dedication, and made tremendous changes in my lifestyle.
I now try as hard as I can every day to put to use the gifts that were given to me by the Holy Ghost, Christ, and God, whenever I can.
I closed down the pagan site, and even told the members why I was closing down, urging them to give the bible another chance to speeak to them. It wasnot too late to come to the Lord and be saved. I still feel guilt from my actions from time to time, but it is a constant reminder to me of how much I need to continue to focus on loving the Lord, and trusting in everything he has done, and will do.
Now is my time to prove myself worthy of the breath of life. Now is my time to take what short amount of time I have and put my works to my faith.
I come here for support from others walking the path, speaking the word, and putting their life on the line for Christ. I come here for reiteration to what I am reading, so that I might have better understanding from different perspectives. I come here to hopefully be the same I am seaking for in others here, to another on the decieving path, that want to make it right with the Lord.
I hope you are patient with me, because i will have many questions, that may seem infantile, but baby steps are what I have right now.
Gob bless you for having a place of truth, out of the darkness of the world.
