John M.
Dear reader, it is a privilege to share my testimony with you. This testimony is the work of the Lord in me – the Lord who is the author of my faith and of the faith of all those that are in Christ. Please consider these things and rejoice if you are in Christ. And if you are not in Christ, I plead with you that you would seek the LORD. Those who seek diligently will find Him.
Like many people in the world, I grew up with no faith and no knowledge of God. I walked with no regard for God who created me and I was comfortable with the things of this world. I regarded the things of the Bible foolishness and vain imaginations of people desperate for something to comfort them. I am sure that I would have remained in this state of ignorance without God’s intervention. God opened my eyes to spiritual realities during my last year in Finland before I moved to the UK to study economics. It was at this time that I found myself asking questions that I had never asked before. Providently God brought into my life a christian classmate who spoke of the things of the Lord to me. I was curious about the things that she shared with me, but I could not just take her word for it.
