David’s Testimony
I am assured of my salvation because I know how I’ve been changed. From the inside. I’m not the person I used to be (and also not yet the person I’m becoming). I am naturally selfish and self centered caring nothing for anyone else. But since my salvation experience (a whole nother testimony) I have gradually become a more loving caring giving person. I love people and I didn’t used to. I know this comes from God. The more I get to know Him the more I love Him and the more I love not just other Christians but also the lost. How could I have compassion for someone such as the late Saddam Hussein? I should want him dead. But when he was hung I was sad thinking that he would not make it to heaven. This is just one example. I care about friends relatives and strangers. I love them all (though I don’t like them all) but I want everyone to be saved. I can’t help but tell people about Jesus. I want everyone to know Him as I do. I want mercy. I was given Mercy by God and I want everyone to experience that same thing. I know I’m saved because the love passing through me is more than I can contain. When I read 1st John 4:12 I thought Yes. That is the explaination for the love. It is God’s love in me. and it is getting perfected.
