What did Jesus save you from?

[porkchop]

Hi there, i thought it would be nice to hear what Jesus saved you from.
So, are there any testimonies waiting to be told?

Separation from God.

Separation from God.

Mega-hyper-super-ginormous frubals for that!

 

[*Paul*]

From a life addicted to sinful behaviour and hypocrisy; smoking weed;binge drinking;lust; listening to some very ungodly music such as NIN & Tool;lying;dishonesty. Truly the chief of all sinners and all done whilst calling myself a Christian as i thought i was because i put my hand up at church in response to a call to come to Christ and was led through a sinners prayer that was not my own (at age 10). Surely a man deservedly bound for hellfire.
Now i sing a new song:

Love lifted me:

Author:

James Rowe, 1865-1933
I was sinking deep in sin,
Far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within,
Sinking to rise no more;
But the Master of the sea
Heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me,
Now safe am I.

Refrain:
Love lifted me! Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me; Love lifted me.
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me.

All my heart to Him I give,
Ever to Him I'll cling,
In His blessed presence live,
Ever His praises sing.
Love so mighty and so true
Merits my soul's best songs;
Faithful, loving service, too,
To Him belongs.

Souls in danger, look above,
Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love
Out of the angry waves.
He's the Master of the sea,
Billows His will obey;
He your Saviour wants to be—
Be saved today.

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

Thankyou Paul, as always, you are so frank and honest, and i love you for it!!
Beautiful hymn, that is one of my favourites. You did a good job of discribing how i was before being saved, though i was a catholic back then. Thank the Lord for showing me the right path to follow.

My self (aka Separation from God).

By "seperation from God," are you talking about here and now or after death?

I'm talking about in the eternal now.

Hey dopple, so what where you like before Jesus saved you?

Out of balance and believing that my words and thoughts represented an objective reality for everyone. Subjectively, I considered myself a Fundamentalist, Evangelical Christian.

As far as I believe, Jesus saved me from ignorance, and saved me by dying on the cross, so that my sins may be forgiven......
