It's not the best but it's my testimony.
I grew up in a family who were Christian, but wasn't raised up in the Christian religion. In my early teenage years I got into a lot of immoral practices, indecent acts, and was driven by hatred and lust. I began to hate everything pertaining to God and Christ. I found myself following satanic and mosothiestic ideas and thoughts. I attempted to participate in satanic rituals and anything against the most holy God. I was totally depraved and full of ungodliness before I was brought to life in Christ. Then one night I flipped to a Christian television channel that had Billy Graham preaching, and at the end of the message he was saying if we believed and came to Christ, He would save me. I was broken and shattered in my life of sin and wickedness. I was drawn by God's grace to experience this spiritual living in Christ, the Christian life. I had no idea I was born again before I believed. At that time I was seeing what would happen if I tried this Christian thing out, I didn't know that I was by God being drawn to faith in Him and by Him. Once I put my faith in Him and gave my life and my heart to Jesus, I felt His love sink into me. I cried in that faithful prayer. At that moment I was saved. God's grace alone saved me, how merciful and gracious was He and still is!. In while I was yet a sinner, Christ died for me. Nothing I did by my own power saved me, not even prayer, by His grace He gave me life and by His atoning death I have been saved, forgiven, freed, and made righteous! Glory to God!
"God being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgression, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ."
