Student Testimony
By: Anna Xu
I heard of Bible when I was a college student. I thought it sounded like a poem, a history, but not true and it was fantasy like a novel. I had not desire to read it. So just like Bible say, I may look, yet not see; I may listen, yet not understand. At that time, I believed in nothing, just believed myself. I had not faith. Although I had soul, there was not real life in it; although I was alive, I was not happy. In routine life, I could not do well with my friends, my classmates and my boyfriends. I was very confused. I did not know why? I did not know what was wrong and what was right. But I wanted to know. I wanted the truth.

Without the truth, although I could study in the best university of China as a master student, I was still ignorant. One day I went into a bookstore, I saw a book, the title is The Story of Bible. I read it and was absorbed by it immediately. Oh! I got it. God is love. Before, I did not know God, so I did not know love and how to love. The Bible is the truth which has amazing power! It changed me. Although I was a sinner, God still love me deeply. He leads me to know him. I began read Bible from then.

At that time I did not know praying, but every time when I was in trouble, I called “God, help me!”, then I could feel the real strength, the power which supported me no matter how sad today, to smile and could smile tomorrow. I thought God is really existent. But then I did not know Bible more. I believed many things, Buddhism, Islam, Chinese traditional religion and the like. I thought every religion was a way to God.

After arrived in America , I went to Chinese church, First Baptist church and Denton Bible church. Sisters and brothers help me, taught me more about Bible, Jesus and Triune God, and gave me books about gospel and other people’s testimony. I knew Jesus is the only way to God. I did care other religions again while wanted to know God more. At the beginning, I couldn't believe strongly. I learnt to pray: “holy spirit helps me believe strongly.” Step by step, I have believed strongly, believed in Jesus and Triune God, and now I become a Christian. I am happy, I am joy, I am lucky.

I want to say to my friends who do not believe yet: please stretch out your hands, accept God’s salvation, God’s gift. That is not difficult, just stretch out your hands.

Every thing can go, but God’s salvation can not go; time can change everything, but can not change God’s love!

Hallelujah! Triune God!

At the end of my testimony, I want to express my thankfulness to sisters and brothers in Christ and International Sunday school’s friends, thank you for your help! Just because your help I can know God more and become a Christian quickly.

Thank you!
