I was a catholic. I went to catholic school, all the way through high school. I was never a self satisfied catholic, who thought, that somewhere along the line, I would work it out and be saved in the end. Nope. I was always scared to death, that I would never be good enough to attain Heaven. In that, I was right. No one can do it. Not me, not you, not anyone. I had resigned myself to the thought of eternal hell fire. I didn’t like it, but I knew I was going there. I reached a level of despair, when, at the tender age of 21, an Air Force Officer, 1st Lieutenant Ted, told me the truth about the REAL Jesus, not the Jesus of the cults. 👍 I knew he was telling me the truth. How could I turn down the free gift of eternal life. I became born again, and the rest, as they say, is HIS-story. 👍

Thanks for sharing your journey to salvation.

Many here and elsewhere seem to prefer taking their chances on anything other than Christ.

Powerful testimony Bro!

I was once asked point-blank how I knew I was going to Heaven when I 19. I was a defender of the RC faith and spit out the standard “righteous works”, “sacraments”, and all the other filthy rags I was taught growing up.
He quoted me some verses which I had no idea about since we were never taught to read the Bible as Catholics (Isaiah 64:6 & Romans 3:19-23 & 3:10).

I got “woke” then. Started devouring Scripture and a few months later, decided to never go back to the RCC again.

It’s a Free Gift - a Winning Lottery Ticket - for all Eternity. No way I’m giving that up!

ONLY JESUS = HEAVEN
All other roads = HELL
