On Sunday, October 20th, we celebrated the miraculous work of the Lord at a Baptism Service at Redeemer. These services are a sweet reminder of what the Lord has done in the life of each follower of Jesus. The testimony below is from Caileigh Gasser.
Before Jesus saved me I was a sinner. I was born in a Christian family but I didn’t really understand or believe in the Bible. I came to trust Jesus when I was 4 years old. I don’t remember a lot of the details of that night, but I DO know that I have continued to believe and trust in Jesus since that night. I know that I am a sinner, I deserve the punishment of death and separation from God but because God is merciful, He sent his Son, Jesus, to take the punishment that I deserve, and now I can live forever with Him.
God has continued to show me more of Him over the years. Camp was a great time of growing and learning more. Worship time was powerful and helped me better understand how the songs were not just words, but apply to me personally.
After trusting in Jesus, I know that I am saved and will one day live in Heaven with Him. Sometimes I doubt Him when I see so many bad things happening in our world, but then I remind myself that it is all part of His plan. I learned a verse when I was little that has always been helpful to me, and that is Psalm 56:3, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” I know that I can trust in God’s plan for my life!
