Hi, I’m Elizabeth and here’s my testimony as proof for the living God, Jesus Christ! Some years ago, I was a lukewarm Christian not understanding the purpose of life or God. I owned a Bible and prayed for things, though I never felt the importance of God, and the meaning of doing good. So overall, I'd claim to believe, but live completely opposite to how Jesus lived. Many of us know though, since God created the world in a way where we’d always rely on Him in troubles, life without Him was stressful. I felt that most through moments when people judged me from what they saw on the outside. My outward appearance, more specifically clothes that I wore. A toxic judging, the type I almost never understood why people did. In those moments that felt so lonely,an escape seemed impossible. Until Jesus saved me. Soon after getting to know God, I realized that He would never judge me like that. Plus, my purpose is not defined by what’s on the outside, and that there are more important things for the body than just clothes.
Change can happen, and little did I know back then, my life would change for the better on what seemed a usual day. A day where I was scrolling through a social media app called TikTok. Suddenly, I started coming across many Jesus related videos, and being the lukewarm Christian I was, I didn’t enjoy any of it. Of course, the reasoning being I had no actual relationship with God. However, those videos were more important than I could’ve ever imagined. Overtime, I started seeing more and more videos, and I started questioning my own faith. Since I had barely learned about Jesus at all before, I finally started actually listening to the videos talking about Jesus. After a while, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior then learned much through the Holy Spirit. Everything started to make sense. For example, I hated being quickly judged, but I was just as quick to judge others. How could I have had the right to complain? Still, God being amazing as He is, comforted me in all my troubles. He gave me the purpose I never thought I’d ever have, to serve Jesus. I woke up, but as you change, the more people around you notice. Especially, if you stop doing the sins they choose to do. They acted negatively, mocked my beliefs and faith. Though, this time when being judged, I wasn’t shaken. I had God, and anything is possible with Christ. Like pushing through my suffering and forgiving people.
So now, I'll strive to be as forgiving, loving, and perfect as Jesus was. I want to spread the gospel through the Holy Spirit so that people around me may change their lives for the better. Some days are good, some are bad, but I know Jesus will always be with me. I will always be hopeful because of what Jesus has done.
