I received this uplifting message from a former catholic woman who converted to Christianity. She discovered true faith and received the Gift of Eternal Life:
“Of course, I thought I was saved. I went to confession every week and hung out with the priests… I thought they had all the answers about what to do with my life. I lived with two extremist catholics and we prayed rosaries… and always talked about Mary. It dawned on me that no one ever talked about Jesus.
I was going to leave for the convent but I ended up moving in with three baptist girls. I told them I didn’t want to talk about religions because I knew where I stood. We hardly ever talked about it. I just knew I wasn’t getting something right. About four months later, I was sick of not having a relationship with God. Nothing I was doing was working. My roommate asked me a question and then we got to talk about our different beliefs. I started to ask if she wanted to know what I thought or what the church thought. That night and the next couple of nights…all I was thinking about was the differences in the church. I researched it until early morning hours. The third night, I prayed for God to let me know what to do. He told me… ‘My Daughter Your Faith has Saved You’.
The next morning, I woke up a new person. I was so nervous because I was going to be doing an outreach thing with Baptist people. I already told them that I was changing. I came home and told my roommate that I was no longer wanting to be catholic. We talked about it. She was so happy. My catholic friends told me what I was doing was wrong. They were wondering how I could make a decision like this in four months when it takes priests years to decide and learn about God. That made me nervous but I went to the scriptures…
I see it [the catholic church] now as a cult somewhat. It takes time to unlearn that stuff. I appreciate your website and to let you know you aren’t alone… I see such hypocrisy and wonder how I fell for it. I understand how I did.”
Because it is only through Faith that we may taste the goodness of God’s Truth. Trust in Christ Alone, my friends. Reject all of what you have learned from men, and place your Trust in Christ Alone and you can have the Gift of Eternal Salvation!
