"I am everything I feared, incapable, weak, and as the song says 'empty-handed'. But the Gospel says that despite that, God in his love, grace, mercy, and love had sent His one and only Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins."

“My sense of self-worth and identity was very much tied to others’ approval, and most of the things I did was just to alleviate the deep sense of emptiness and loneliness I felt.”

“My testimony is really a story about the sweet, sweet love of God, of how He pursued after me when I was lost, and how He loves this defiant and undeserving sinner called Jeremy who has placed his trust in Jesus.”

“God softened my heart and allowed me to savour, appreciate and accept his gospel and his grace…I feel free and liberated, not bound to good works or the fear of purgatory…my identity is bound only to Jesus Christ.”

“Deep down, a part of me knew that I craved for the intimacy of being truly known…Through painful life lessons, God taught me to be vulnerable, and to admit to God and man that I am so broken and in need of His grace. It was through God that I found within me the capacity to forgive, and to love vulnerably again.”

“During the sessions, my previous perception of reality was destroyed…God showed me how unrighteous and undeserving of grace I was, and how I truly needed Jesus to save me from God’s well-deserved wrath...For the first time in my life, I experienced the most complete, profound, and selfless love of God.”

“Expecting the sermon to be the same, thinking about the kids I needed to pick up afterwards, how long it may take etc. But the Word of God that was read cut deep into my heart that day and quieted me. Here I was, cheeky and expecting to be ‘entertained’, critical of the music, the pastor, the church and whatever. But then the King came to me.”

“I struggled with the notion of me being a sinner, I reckoned I was quite a good person, not that bad. But God had more to say...As I kneeled in the presence of the Lord, all the scenes of how I have sinned against God, where have I fallen short since young was shown clearly to me.”

“I was overall a pretty good student, going to church almost every Sunday, hardly asleep during sermons but of course, I did all these without the right intentions. In my mind, though I was hardly conscious of it, I had equated being a Christian to being an overall nice-ish person, and therefore, I guess, doing “good works”. Little did I know that such an outlook means taking God out of the equation.”

“That evening, God used him to reshape everything I thought I knew about God and the Bible. He asked questions such as, “How do you know you’re saved?” and “Why do you want to get married anyway?” Through these questions and his follow-up, God opened my eyes to see the glory of Christ. I actually wanted to pray.”

“Growing up, I was taught to work for exemplary results, money, and respect from others. But at a young age, I had a keen sense of pain and suffering happening elsewhere in the world. Somehow, I felt there had to be more to life. But I didn't know what it was.”

“From reading the Bible, it became clear to me that I am a sinner, not just because of my actions, but because of my wayward heart and disordered worship. My sins in life made me realise that I desperately need the atoning work of Jesus Christ to be reconciled with a holy God, since I am fully deserving of His holy wrath against unrighteousness. It blows my mind that God would shower His love on us even though we rebel against him.”

“I am the middle child in my family, and my parents were really hoping I was boy. God gave them me instead, and they never failed to remind me that I was not a boy. I was pretty insecure as a child and into adulthood and often sought to gain favour by putting my other siblings down. Socially, I always sought to fit in, and would bend over backwards to please people. It has been a little over 10 years since since I accepted Christ. I still battle with temptations and finding contentment somewhere else other than Christ. God has been good and I trust that he will always be good.”

“I was really challenged with the truth of the gospel. God was giving me a chance. He actively pursued me and drew me to him, and I was actively refusing him. And at that moment I thought, ‘How could I possibly refuse him?’”
