Chris’s Testimony
0 Comments
The second person to be baptized this past Sunday was Christopher Gonzalez. Here’s Chris’s testimony:
Life before Christ was like living in a hole I could never climb out of. I felt alone, ran the streets, and didn’t really care about anyone. But I presented myself in a way that made it seem like everything was all right.
Then I met a woman, now my wife, who spoke to me of Christ and how great he is. One night while my wife was having a seizure I prayed “Lord if you are real and posses the power they say you do, show me. Please stop Cori from having this seizure.” Before I could finish this prayer, it was over. That same week I went to church and a gentle man I never met before asked me if I knew Christ. I said no, so we prayed and he told me I was saved. I thought, “that’s it, I’m saved, I’m good” but for years I went on the same way, the same routine. It wasn’t until I came to Covenant Life that I learned what true repentance is and what true salvation is. I’ve turned from my sin and trusted in Christ.
Christ has changed my life in so many ways. I love people now, I’m more alert to the Holy spirit, and I now have a loving church family. In Covenant Life I’ve met a few people that have helped me. My wife, who is a spiritual warrior in prayer, Mr. Rashford and his family, Dana and Marcia Early, my care group, Don DeVries, Joe Lee and Josh Harris. When I came in this church Pastor Corby greeted me. Just in the way he prayed for me showed me how God’s grace can change a person.
I want to be baptized today to show what Christ has done in me; that I have died with Christ and been raised with him.
