Salvation Testimony of Samuel Liew

Hi, I am Samuel Liew. I am very fortunate to have been born into a Christian family. Not only that, I even studied in a Christian school. And so from young my parents taught me good values and provided for all my needs. However life seemed so routine to me. Day in, day out, life seems to be meaningless and I was not sure where I was heading. I thought to myself that there must be more to life than this.

Because my parents were serving in church, I had many opportunities to listen to Christian messages from church services and evangelistic meetings. My parents also talked to me much about a relationship with Jesus Christ. I came to realize that being born into a Christian family did not make me a Christian. Just like someone said, being born in a zoo does not make me an animal. I came to realize that I need to personally invite Jesus into my heart and life. Then in 1995, I consciously said a simple prayer to accept Jesus which goes something like this:

“Dear Jesus, I admit that I’m a sinner. Please forgive me. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I invite you to come into my heart and life and be my Lord and Saviour. Make me the kind of person you want me to be. Amen.”

After saying that prayer, I remembered that there were no dramatic feelings or sensations or immediate changes in my life. However, over a period of time, I could see God making gradual changes in my life. As I studied the Word of God and listened to the counsel of my parents, I came to discover that my purpose in life is to bring glory to God. In all that I do, I want to do my best for Him and also to bring others to Jesus. It is so wonderful to know that God has a wonderful plan for my life.

However receiving Jesus Christ into my heart did not mean that there would be no more problems in my life. I still have problems. But the difference is that I now know that Jesus is with me to strengthen me and to help me through every situation in life. As the Bible says, He will never leave me nor forsake me.

I hope that each of you will also want to experience the love of God through Jesus Christ by accepting Him as your Lord and Saviour. He also has a wonderful plan for each of you if you would come to Him. Thank you.
