Guys/Gal,

Do you remember back when you didn’t know Christ and believed whatever the Catholic Church told you?

Do you remember when you came to know Christ and His Word opened up to your heart?

I was just remembering that moment in my own life, based on the conversation above with someone unfamiliar with the Scriptures.

“Thanks be to God, for His Indescribable Gift!”

Oh amen!

John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."

John 8:31-32 "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free"

Yes, I sure do.

It was like night and day.

I wondered how I could have missed so much of what I knew I had heard before cause now it made so much sense to me.

I do remember sir, but I was kind of rebellious. When I was told I couldn't read the Bible for myself, the first thing I did, was get a Bible, and read it for myself.

Do you remember when you came to know Christ and His Word opened up to your heart?

I do remember sir, but it took about a month for me to completely understand it, to a point where I felt comfortable committing the sin of presumption, by having total assurance of salvation.
I was baptized in the swimming pool at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of South Vietnam, along with two others. We made 7th Air Force News. It was a hot day, so it was nice. 😇👍
