Summary

Hi, I’m Chris. I grew up in a broken home marked by abuse and neglect, leaving me feeling unloved and alone. I became homeless, turned to alcohol, and my anger destroyed my relationships with my wife and children. As my life spiraled and I faced a failed career and mounting debt, I reached a point of despair and planned to end my life. In my darkest moment, a compassionate stranger named Maria and her sisters intervened, asking a question that pierced my heart. I found a Bible, poured out my pain, and asked for forgiveness. In that moment, I experienced Jesus’ love and mercy, and my life was forever transformed. Today, I share my story to remind others that no matter how broken you feel, Jesus offers hope, healing, and a new beginning.

—————– Original Video —————–

Chris had a broken home and was addicted to lying. He had even become homeless. He later was in a broken marriage and was an angry father and husband. He was a compulsive liar and did not know why. He did not know how to get out of debt and became an alcoholic. He thought taking the policy test would be a change his family needed. He failed the policy test and became suicidal. Chris thought of a suicide plan with medication pills and alcohol. He wanted to die, but he had a fear and didn’t know where he would go when he died. He hated who he was and cried out to God in anguish. Then a miracle happened that same day.

Each person has heard the gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ and believed in it wholeheartedly.
“What is the gospel? What is the good news?”
First you need to know the bad news to understand how good the good news really is. The bad news is that God is good and holy and so He must punish all sin.There is no sin in heaven or in God’s presence.
“What does that mean for all people? Every single person has committed some sort of sin. So does that mean we are all going to burn in hell and not go to heaven? Because if God is good He has to punish all of us sinners?”
Here is the BEST news you have EVER heard. God loves you so much. Because God is full of mercy, grace, & love, instead of punishing us for our sin, He punishes His Son Jesus on the cross. Even more incredible, Jesus’ perfect- sinless life (AKA His righteousness) gets accredited to our account.
“What? Could this be true? Our sin is completely forgiven because Jesus died in my place on the cross? My moral debt cancelled?” – YES!
When God looks at your life, He now sees Jesus perfect life.
“So now I can go to heaven?” – YES!
Make no mistake, this is all true for the one who believes. All your good works cannot earn you heaven, rather Jesus’ work on the cross earns us heaven. All we have to do is repent (turn from our sin, be broken/sorry for our sin) and believe! Now the question is, do you believe Jesus and this good news? If this is this the first time you have ever heard the gospel presented to you in this way and you want to follow Jesus. Nothing is stopping you from doing it right now. Pray and talk to Jesus. Confess your sin and give your life over to Him. After you have a good cry with God in prayer, read the Bible and start attending church on Sunday.

Each christian testimony describes what it looks like to follow Jesus and be forever changed by the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. When you have saving faith, along with repentance in Jesus Christ (death, burial and resurrection) – you become a believer. You become adopted into the family of God. You begin to hate what God hates, and love what God loves. It’s almost has if you have new eyes and see the world through the cross and resurrection of Jesus.
