My Testimony

I believe nobody would want to be a bad guy, all of us are inspired to be a good guy like that portray in every show. He is ever so kind, caring and selfless, he is always there at the right time saying the right word to comfort or to fight off unfairness. That's what I yearn to be, but deep down I know that I'm not and it would be impossible to put others before self in most or every case.
I tried every tricks in the book to look good outwardly but internally when no ones is observing I would revert to my old ways. The core reason for my behavior is my pride. Pride had caused me to only care for my own needs and desires, I would do everything I could to obtain the stuffs that I want. That's scary as I would craft, plot and lies to get to my goal.
When I was in poly, I got to know about Jesus Christ through my friend. I was told about Jesus deed on earth, what he had done amazed me. This guy showed me the model that I had desire to be with no underhand methods. And in the end he was crucified on the cross. This scene had never happened in all the shows that I had watched. NO! Good guys can't die, Hero last till the end. I wants to understand more about him.
I was told that Jesus is God, we are his creation and he had a purpose for us which we had failed. The reason why we had failed is due to our pride, we are too proud to admit that we are created or even needs to follow his purpose. In short the bible called it SIN.
There is a consequence to sin, we are eternally separated from the one that had created us, we are unable to achieve the goodness that we had desired. When we are left alone we are not able to solve any of the problems that sin had brought forth.
That's the reason why Jesus had to forsake his heavenly status (a kind of demotion) to come to us and show us how we could do it. We had to be re-born, our sin, my pride had to be nail at that cross to be crucified, to die. Jesus had done it for us in the cross, I was told that I had to believe and accept him as my personal Savior and Lord, and with his help I'm able to rid my pride.
I accepted Christ and pronounced my faith as a Christian on 9th of August 1997. Life after that was never easy, my pride would still gets the better of me. But with the help of my Savior, I'm able to control it and gets better at becoming the person that God had want us to become.
My life now is filled with hope and joy. I know that my life is in God's hands and I could feel safe in it, and everytime difficulties comes to my life I'm able to finds comfort in Him.
