I have a serious question.
Have you heard anyone beginning a testimony with anything like ‘Ever since I repented of my sin and believed in Christ. . .’?
I haven’t, not lately. They always begin with somethimg like:
‘Since I gave my heart to Jesus. . .’
‘Since I accepted Jesus. . .’
‘Since I received Christ. . .’
‘Since I chose Christ. . .’
Why is that?
Some years ago I listened to an audio recording of my baptism in which testimonies were presented. I noticed the testimonies of those who emphasize sin and forgiveness continued to persevere. Those who didn’t but focused on other “benefits?” Fell away; every single one. I cried so much listening to it. O how we need to get the Gospel right!
