Do you know how to be saved?

Since I get this question a lot, I thought I would also answer what I believe here. Below is my testimony of what happened to me.

Before you can be saved, you have to know you’re lost. I remember the day the gospel spoke to my heart. It convicted me and made me feel ashamed. Suddenly, I was aware of my sins. I didn’t have to ask anyone who spoke to me; I knew it was the Lord.

Afterward, I was afraid to go to sleep at night. I knew that if I died in my sins, that hell would be my home. So, I kept my eyes open as long as possible and tried hard to stay awake.

I associated the conviction in my heart with the church; therefore, I didn’t want to go to church. One night, during a revival, my parents made me go. I was so mad. At the time, I hated church. I didn’t want any part of it.

During the service, the preacher answered my questions. It was as if he could hear my thoughts. As he gave an altar call, my heart pounded. And the Lord asked me if I wanted to be saved. It takes God to provide us with the invitation. We can’t get saved anytime that we want to. The first step was the hardest. In my heart, I wanted to be saved. I believed that Jesus died for my sins and accepted the gift He offered me.

We prayed, but I believe that God saved me with the first step I took. I cried and got up off the altar changed. For the first time, I saw the church. They hugged me, and I felt so loved. When it was time to testify, I said, “I just feel so good.” The big, heavy burden of sin I had been carrying was gone. I felt peace in my soul.

That night, I fell asleep with peace in my heart. I wasn’t afraid any longer. I can’t tell you what happened because I don’t know what God did to save me. I just believed, and He did the saving.
