Michael, this is pure and encouraging joy to read. Your testimony of coming from a zealous anti-God mind set to be overwhelmed by the love of Christ and compelled to know, study and teach who we Christians worship as Lord, has touched my life tonight.
Your testimony, as I have just read, is being used by God to enable me to persevere in a present trial.
I love hearing testimonies. Interesting to me, Gal. 2:20 is also one of my "life verses"! And I agree! Faith is not constricting, but liberating, in all the right ways! "He whom the Son sets free, is free indeed!" John 8:36. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Michael. Very similar to my story. I would add, in my case, the witness of Christians I met. Not that they "witnessed" to me; it was a quality in their lives--love, joy, acceptance of me--that made me want what they had.
God be praised for how he called you out of the darkness and transferred you into the Kingdom of His Beloved Son. And praise God that you have dedicated your life to be a disciple of Jesus. And finally, praise God for all the ways He uses you to make others into His disciples.
Thanks for sharing! So interesting how, in wondering about truth and transcendence, you resisted because you were “told not to think that.” We hear all the time how Christians resist truth about things “in the world” because they are told “not to think that”! We all believe what we are influenced to believe, and must seek for ourselves the truth about God and life.

Thank you, my true brother in Christ.
Praise God for Galatians 2:20. Amen, Lord.
Thanks Peter.
