I became a Christian 9 years ago
I had been a non believer until Sept. 2000. At the time I was 42 years old, married, with 2 wonderful children. I had been a drug user from the age of 12 and was growing tired of it. It was ruining my life and my families life.
I am a big fan of the Green Bay Packers and was fortunate enough to get two tickets to see them in Green Bay. My wife (who is a Christian) arranged for my daughter and I to spend the night with some members of the Green Bay church of Christ the night before the game. The family we stayed with just happened to be the preacher for this congregation.
Jonathan and I stayed up all night before the game, discussing my life and his life as they were scarily the same before he became a Christian. He explained the facts of the Bible to me that night and left me with a question the next morning before we left for the game. "What is keeping you from being baptized and becoming a Christian?" I couldn't answer him.
That day, after the game,on the drive home to Iowa I decided I knew what I needed to do. I called the preacher for our congregation and arranged to be baptized when he arrived back in town. That night my life changed forever and hopefully my life will be able to encourage others that Jesus Christ is the one and only way that we are going to arrive and be welcomed in Heaven.
One last thing I must say and if you study your Bible you will know it's true. Baptism is required to be saved. Even the devil believe in Christ and trembles.
