Paul Paoli’s faith story. – Christian Testimony S3E5
Summary
Before encountering Jesus, my life was filled with sin, hypocrisy, and emptiness despite my active involvement in church. I abused alcohol, indulged in pornography, and led a life contrary to God’s commands. One day, a friend introduced me to the true Gospel, and as I read Scripture, particularly John’s Gospel and Matthew 11:28, I realized my need to be born again. In that moment, I experienced a radical transformation; God replaced my sin with forgiveness, and He filled me with a new purpose to serve Him and extend His love to others. I am now a living testimony of Jesus’ grace, urging all who are weary to come to Him for rest.

What is the hypocrite definition? The hypocrite meaning according to Merriam-Webster says “a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion.” This was exactly Paul Paoli’s story. What are some Bible verses on hypocrisy? Here are 2 teachings of the Bible about Hypocrisy.
1 John 4:20 states: “If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.”
Luke 12:2 states: “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?”
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.
