My personal Testimony

2008-08-15T15:24:00.001-07:00

Before I received eternal life, I had a fear of being alone. The thought of being alone terrified me.
As A child growing up I was always afraid of being alone.
When I got married my husband was on midnights. The first two weeks were aweful I couldn't sleep I was so scared. After the two weeks I had my eight year old boy sleep in my room to relieve some of the fear.
A few year after my husband and I were married I received eternal life. My life has really changed since that time.
Now that I have eternal life I know longer have that fear of being alone. When my husband has to go out of town on a trip or when he is sick and not able to go to church with me I now can go alone. God has given me life. I know now that I'm going to heaven when I die.

What does this say about God and Man?

God knows everythign; nothing is hidden from Him.

Man is sinful; God is holy and connot tolerate sin; God will punish sin

Joshua 7:10-12

God punishes sin because He is just; He punishes sin to lead man to repentance

god is rich in mercy

god is all-powerful

God is sovereign and He demands obedience

God never changes and His word stands forever
