My Testimony: I Thought I Was Saved for 22 Years
Summary
I spent 22 years believing that the sinner’s prayer was enough to save me, only to realize that my heart was far from genuine love for Jesus. I struggled with internal battles, family pain, and substance abuse, until a powerful encounter at church and heartfelt prayer opened my eyes to true salvation. Now, through the intervention of the Holy Spirit, I live a transformed life, giving all glory to Jesus for renewing my hope.
—————– Original Video —————–
For 22 years, I thought the Sinner’s Prayer was my ticket to Heaven. But I didn’t truly love Jesus, the Bible, the Church, or even most Christians. I was a false convert—living a life without true repentance or transformation.
In this video, I share my journey from being deceived to experiencing true salvation through Jesus Christ. This is the story of how God completely changed my heart, saved me, and gave me new life in Him. If you’re questioning your faith or wondering what it really means to be born again, I pray my testimony encourages and challenges you to seek the truth in God’s Word.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
– John Chapter 3, verses 16 – 21
