ANN'S TESTIMONY

Ann’s Testimony (Ann recently went to be with the Lord. We will keep her testimony online for a while)

We asked Ann, an attendee of the church for many years, how she became a Christian. This was her response:

“I asked Jesus to come into my heart when a Methodist teenager, without realising the full implication of that invitation.

In retrospect, counselling would have been helpful. Conviction of sin, plus sincere repentance – in the knowledge of the cleansing power of Christ’s redeeming blood, is needful.

He took the punishment of our sinfulness upon the cross to give us free salvation and eternal life with Him.

Being born again (converted/saved) is the start of spiritual growth – even as physical birth must be followed by development.

Several years ago it was impressed upon me that the most important thing in life is to know God, whom one day we shall meet.

Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul.”

We also asked Ann to tell us her favourite verse from the Bible:

“The Eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the Everlasting Arms…”

(Deuteronomy 33:27)

Ann has been a Christian longer than many of us have been alive. She still loves the Lord and maybe the key to her spiritual longevity is found in her favourite aforementioned Bible verse – God is her refuge
