Baptismal testimony
--Roger Lee
After many years of accepting Christ in my life, I am finally deciding to declare my love for him for all of you. Since the day I was born, I haven’t been forced to believe in God, so I wasn’t born in a Christian family. I grew up to believe in superstition, so whenever I felt a certain idol would help me, I’d always focus on that certain one until my requests were answered. My life seemed really meaningless after doing this for many years.
22 years ago, I was exposed to the Lord. I was invited to a Good News Celebration event by a brother in Christ. This was the first time I’ve heard about Jesus and the information was confusing at the time, but as I thought about it more and more, it made better sense to me.
After this experience of coming to know God, I’ve kept this in the back of my head, not really thinking about it. It took 17 years later for me to finally attend a seminar at CBCGL, after occasionally attending church for a few years. This event wasn’t a moment of great emotion, but just a change of heart for me. There were many testimonies read by Christians at the seminar and it really revealed to me how great God’s love is. This is the first time I really understood the Lord’s love for me and everyone in this world. My acceptance of our magnificent Lord wasn’t in an instant moment, but instead it was very gradual, with my love for him growing stronger with each passing day. My baptism is declaration to the world that I love Jesus with all my heart and I will continue growing in this love.
