Maria's Salvation Testimony
I became a follower of Christ when I was a young married mom-to-be. I knew about Jesus growing up, but never understood what his death, burial, and resurrection meant for ME. I lived a lot of life by the time I was 21, and am still here by the grace of God. I met and married my husband while I was a student at Oberlin College. He had become a Christ follower while we were dating, and I didn't understand the change that came over him. He really didn't, either! I was annoyed - and intrigued. He thought I was already saved because I knew more Bible than he did, but I didn't really know what the verses meant. After we were married and expecting our first, we became part of a couple's bible study. I had never experienced a Bible study before. It was exciting to discover that one could study the Bible and know what it said. One day, while studying the Bible alone in our apartment, I finally understood the Gospel of salvation. When I accepted Christ as my Savior, I literally felt my burden of sin fall away and I knew I was changed. Since then, I have grown in grace and have lots more to testify about being a child of the King - I can't wait to share it with my siblings in Christ!
