From Devoted Muslim to Christian Evangelist

By N.Z.

I used to be born and raised in a Muslim household in India. Rising up as a typical Muslim, I prayed and fasted. I used to be taught, to go to paradise, I have to apply the obligatory 5 pillars of Islam: Shahada, prayer, zakat, fasting and pilgrimage. As all Muslims say, I believed Islam is a non-violent faith, and Muhammed is a prophet and probably the most holy man ever to reside on the Earth. Lots of my Hindu mates claimed Muslims conquered India. They demolished a number of Hindu temples and compelled numerous Hindus to transform to Islam. However at that, I defended Islam and guaranteed my mates it’s a peaceable religion.

In the future after praying, I requested a person with an enormous beard, “Who’s Allah?” Males with giant beards are thought of holy in Islam. Moderately than answering, he informed me it was a horrible query and I shouldn’t ask or take into consideration who Allah is. Then He requested for my father’s title and handle. This scared me. To get away from him, I apologized for my query.

The primary time I heard about Jesus was from my mom’s elder brother who had transformed to Christianity. I didn’t hear the gospel from him however I heard he grew to become a Christian. I didn’t give it a lot thought till I confronted a turning level in my life. When my mom died all of a sudden, I started occupied with life after demise. What occurs after we die?

There was no peace in my life. I used to be desperately trying to find solutions. In the future, I noticed a church on the highway and went inside to ask who Jesus is. The pastor informed me Jesus is God, and He loves me and died for my sins. Listening to this, I felt nice pleasure and reduction from my issues about life past demise. I used to be overjoyed to listen to the God of the universe loves me.

I started studying the Bible and Quran to study Jesus. I discovered, opposite to what the Quran claims, Jesus certainly is God and never a prophet. Jesus did many superb issues and by no means sinned. Studying the Bible, I realized we can’t earn our salvation by good acts. Solely Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross can redeem us.

My life modified dramatically once I encountered Jesus and realized in regards to the highly effective message of salvation. I discovered true peace and goal in my life. I repented, accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord, and took water baptism on March 10, 2003. My mission since then is to actively proclaim Jesus’ fact to remodel lives and construct devoted followers of our Lord Jesus.
