Yes I do. My life has changed so much since I asked Christ to come into my life and asked forgiveness for my sins. Did it happen right away No. It came slowly, when I look back at the person I was and who I am today I am amazed. I had always felt unloved, and unwanted. Today I am loved and I love myself also. I trust God with my life, I am able to love and be loved today because of Jesus.

I was saved when I was 13. I was brought up in a Christian home, with my Aunt and Uncle, who were the only Christians in the family. I knew the way of salvation from a child, and after losing my mother, and my uncle, - who had brought me up within 5 months of each other at the ages of 11 and 12, I was faced with the uncertainly of life. I knew that my uncle was going to heaven, and I saw the faith of my aunt and also how the Lord had provided for her in many ways during the early grief. I compared this to my dad, who was not a Christian, who turned to alcohol for his comfort. I saw at the age of 11 and 12, how God is a very present help in times of trouble. I also saw that He was the God of all comfort. I saw these things first hand, which led me to a decision eighteen months later, after much thought.
A brother in our little Gospel Hall had passed away. He was an elderly gent, and I knew him very well. It was at a Gospel Meeting that at that time, I repented from my sin, and gave my life to Jesus Christ.
Thirty seven years later, I look back, and see the hand that guided and planned. Even through the most tragic of circumstances and loss, I know the Lord to be faithful in every way, working everything together for good, for those who love Him.

Yes.
After going to a church all my life and NEVER hearing that I needed a savior. Then spending many years checking out other religions, I then started wondering about end time prophecy.
I was (wisely) counseled to read through the bible, and started attending a church where the gospel was clearly preached.
The "final straw" was being in a bible study where I saw my need for a savior. And through this all my sweet saved sister was on her knees praying for my salvation.
Study the Word.
Pray for your unsaved family and friends.

How do most professed Christians know Jesus as their personal savior when they don't know the first things about him and his Father? For instance:
The Bible says that God sent Jesus to earth. (John 3:16, 17) Most so-called Christians believe it was God himself who came to earth.
The Bible says that Jehovah is the only true God. (Ps. 83:18) Most "believers" think that Jesus and the holy spirit are equal to Jehovah and worship them all as a mysterious trinity.
So how can people claim to have a personal relationship with Jesus when they really don't know who he is?

Whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not, Jesus IS our personal savior.
