Thank God I am saved.
Yes, I am saved. I am saved by the blood of Jesus. I thank the Good Lord each day for saving my soul.
I've actually been baptized three times in my life.
I was born Catholic and baptized as an infant (being third generation Italian). Then I was converted into a Baptist church when I was about 5 or 6 years old, so I grew up in a Christian home.
When I was about 8 or 10 years old, I was saved after going to a Billy Graham Crusade because I learned about the Lord and how Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I was just learning about Jesus then and was baptized in the church I grew up in, because I came to know the Lord as my Savior.
As I got older though, in my teenage years and adult years too, I strayed away from Him, yet God always had a way of bringing me back.
It wasn't until many struggles and years of anguish that I sought out for the Lord again and it was through that, I found God.
When I came back to the Lord and found His light I was baptized again. (This was in my adult years. My late 30's early 40's I was born again). I am a born again Christian.
Maybe it was through the teachings of Jesus Christ that I learned. Or, maybe it was God himself telling me, I'm not done with you yet, or even maybe this is all in His plan for me, because God has saved me more than once. Whatever it is, I know He has kept me here for a reason. Whatever it is, I believe it's all in His plan for me.
When you read the Word of scripture, it tells us all.
God has become my strength, my hope, my wisdom and my faith.
He became my armor, my protector, my shield, my guidance, He has lead me to know that I shall not put any man before Him.
I can still recall the very first verse I ever learned from the Bible is John 3:16.
His Words are not just in red letters. But it is of the passion of His Father. The Creator, The Almighty God and I thank Him every day for His goodness and His saving grace.
