God is Love

This is my personal testimony on how I got to know Jesus Christ as my Lord, Savior and Redeemer.

"I was born to a nominal Druze home in Lebanon. Although I was not raised in the Druze faith, I was taught the Druze morals and values that are very similar to the Judeo-Christian values. As an ordinary member (Jahill), I had simple knowledge of my religion's faith and practices. However, I was very interested in learning about life, death, God, and spirituality. Unfortunately, my experience of the civil war pushed me away from religion and God. I was actually bitter toward God for causing such destruction and killing, so I decided to rely on my strength, intelligence, education, etc...

I moved to the United States to continue my education. I became very interested in the self-help movement and I eventually ended up doing what felt good including drinking alcohol, using drugs, and pursuing sexual relationships. All those experiences gave me pleasure that was short lived.

I started on a quest to find the God within. I attended seminars and was eager to hear any wise man that claimed to have the answers to life's questions. I heard many men, attended many seminars, and read many books, but I was still hungry for the truth. One day I received an invitation in the mail to listen to an evangelist who was coming to town. When I mentioned that to one of my Christian friends, my friend encouraged me to go and offered to go with me. In the meeting this man of God asked several questions that got me thinking. "If you die today, do you know where you would go: heaven or hell?" He made many claims about Jesus that piqued my curiosity. "Jesus has removed the barrier between man and God." "If you want to end the separation between you and God's family, receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior." At the end of the meeting when the invitation was made to ask questions, I stepped forward. That was the beginning of my personal relationship with the God of the universe. Today I believe that I will live with God and His people for eternity because I have accepted God's sacrifice instead of my own. I could not have worked enough or given God enough for my salvation if I had lived hundreds of lives over. I have been forgiven through the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My friend, give your life over to Jesus and believe on Him God's family is eagerly awaiting you."
