My Testimony: Lost in Hinduism to Pride in Atheism to Slave of God

My Testimony: Lost in Hinduism to Pride in Atheism to Slave of God

Jesus found me in 2014.
I became a Christian from atheist. I was born in Hindu family in North-India.
Hindu->Atheist->Saved by grace of Jesus

So before I tell much. Let me share who I was before Christ found me. Who I was before Jesus found me-
-I was corrupt, liar, deceiver, using profane words, devising evil ways and a worthless baggage since birth.(Proverbs 6)
-I would look with lust at every other person since I was 13.(Matthew 5:27-28)
-I watched immoral videos since 13. (Galatians 5:19)
-I would do that daily and satisfy desires of flesh(Galatians 5:19-21)
-I would abuse anyone(Proverbs 15:12)
-Full of anger
-I was perverted in physical and non-physical ways
-Not knowing what is wrong: weak consciousness and morality
-I was filled with the worst you can imagine in a person.. with selfish, self-centered, condescending behaviour...
-I would suppress the call of conscious(Romans 1)
-I would disobey parents.
-I would worship idols.

I would do these all even knowing it’s wrong in my conscious and would insist others to do too.(Romans 1:29-32)

He found me in 2014 when I was searching for answers like..

~Why is there suffering?
~Proof of God ?
~Why are there so many religions?
~God or things of the world?
~Contradictory religions(Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism, Christianity) so which is really from God?
~Is God personal? Can we have a personal relationship with God?
~Why 330 million avatars of gods in India? Is karma real? good deeds outweigh bad? hell vs heaven?..
~if God is the absolute truth, then everything contrary to His nature should be false?

By divine grace, I have tested major religions on their fundamental basis with atheist views and skepticism. I am saved through the precious blood of Christ who died(sacrificed Himself) and took my sins upon Himself to save me and gave me new life with His resurrection.

Who am I now, not I, but the grace of God working in me-
"What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ" -Philippians 3:8

#I love God more than my life and whatever this world has to offer.(Phil 3:8)
#Knowing who God really is, what He did, does for every one of us and how abundantly He graciously loves each one of us as if just one person existed on earth
#Strong consciousness and morality through His grace working in me, nothing of me
#I am totally cleansed of what I have written above before being with Christ.
#I am a new person
#who knows right and wrong through the Holy Spirit
#Knowing the true God transformed me of sinful life with weak consciousness coming from man-made gods. It has been a long journey of transformation and battles inside me. Each day has been a battle but the Lord is with me. Each day I am being sanctified through His word and grace through Holy Spirit. Spiritual battle can only be won with the word of God & through the Holy Spirit.(Romans 6)

All I can say is I am totally contradictory to what I was, this is not because of me but because of Jesus’ grace. I am not perfect but I know His grace is working within me always. I know what it's to love God more than oneself, more than parents, more than this world has to offer. I have known what emptiness is and what being filled with fire for God is. I have known both sides without God and with God. It's hard to believe but it's all true and I am living example with millions across globe of what is said in Bible which I read much later coming to Christ-

"Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a NEW CREATURE [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the OLD things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have PASSED AWAY. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]." (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Jesus took my rottenness, debts, nastiness and wickedness and everything that was foul and corrupt and gave me a new life. This is a picture of God emptying the treasure chest of His love for us. We were no bargain. He drew us to Himself ignoring everything that was corrupt in us. Jesus died for me and each one of us so that we could be saved and not go to hell for what we deserve for our sinful state in Holy justice.

He loved us more than anyone can comprehend to an extent to sacrifice Himself by taking our sins even when we were of no worth before Him. There is one who died for you—look to the cross—behold His wounds. See the torrent gushing from His sides. There is your Purchaser & Redeemer and you are secured with Him when you are to Him. He will transform your life and cleanse you of sin once you seek Him and the truth above all.

I am sure to be with Him when He comes to take all of us who put trust in Him or when I die. Every moment when I think of Him I am so excited to be with Him. Death won't separate me now, death is the catalyst to take me where I want to be, beside Jesus.

P.S

Sorry for the long testimony. Even this was not enough for me.
You can message me if you seek God so that I can help you know how much He loves you and God can save you once you reach out to seek Him like many around the globe. Any prayer request, anything you may message on Instagram @SlavesofChristJesus

God bless! I love you! You are so much worth to God for He came Himself and died and resurrected to just save you because God loves you abundantly more than anyone can. We do not deserve any of His love. It’s all unmerited gracious love. This God did to demonstrate His HOLY Justice and Mercy together. He cannot skip justice because He is Holy God.

"While we were still helpless [powerless to provide for our salvation], at the right time Christ died [as a substitute] for the ungodly. Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to willingly give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a good man [one who is noble and selfless and worthy] someone might even dare to die. But God clearly shows and proves His own love for us, by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:6-8)
