Have you ever been asked to give your testimony? People want to know how you came to a faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, and it's an important thing to be able to share. We each have our story how God reached out to us and we accepted His gift of salvation. Some testimonies are very dramatic, some are not. Some conversions happen quickly, some take a process of years. But the important thing is, we have been saved through God's grace toward us. And there is one common element:
God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son---this is THE testimony!
This is the good news that we are to share with all --- God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
Isn't that simple? Isn't that an easy sentence to remember and isn't this a great assurance given to us from God?
When someone asks you the difference in your life since you became a Christ follower, wouldn't it be easy to say..."Since I became a Christian, I have complete confidence of my eternal life. God has given me eternal life, and this life is in His Son, Jesus Christ my Savior!"
So - how does that knowledge affect your life now? In every way! Everything we think, do, say should be affected by our knowledge that our thoughts, actions and words have eternal significance...that we can have an impact for eternity. Doesn't that make you feel valuable? It should - God intends it to. When we realize that we have been given the absolute assurance of eternal life, we should get excited about joining with God in His work here on earth now. We no longer have to worry about our own destination --- we have assurance of that. Now we are free to change our focus from ourselves and become concerned about others.
Satan wants us to doubt...he wants us to question whether we truly are headed to eternity with God. God doesn't want that for us. He wants us to know and He wants us to be freed by that knowledge.
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and that life is in His Son!
Hallelujah!!
