What's Your Story?

A few days ago, I gave my testimony of how I came to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. That is my conversion story. If you are a Christian, then you have a conversion story as well. Pastor James Macdonald, I believe said, “If you don’t have a conversion story, you probably don’t have a conversion.”

Your story might not be as tragic as the gang member drug dealer/user off the streets that was into all kinds of sins and troubles until he came to Christ and turned his life around. Yours might be as simple as, “I was reading the Bible one day, and through reading it, the Holy Spirit convicted me of my sins.”

Also, a conversion story isn’t about a blink in the eye complete change. Sadly we all know it doesn’t work that way. When God sanctifies us it takes time. It is a process that we undergo when we become Christians, that causes us to grow in holiness, and isn’t complete until God calls us back to headquarters.

It is important that we know what our conversion story is, and that we can articulate the gospel through it. Remember, it doesn’t have to be a tragic experience, or a dramatic change. It could just be a normal story that other people can relate to. I say that because, our testimony is probably the best way to get the gospel out to knows we know and love the most in our lives.

My challenge for everyone is to think about your conversion story. Write it out, and either send it to someone you know who isn’t saved, or talk to that person, and tell them your story.
