Testimony:
I grew up Catholic, attending Mass and believing that through my good behavior I could earn my way into Heaven. In college, my Christian roommate invited me to church and I accepted, believing I was already saved. It was a Bible church and I was initially drawn to the contemporary worship and welcoming believers—unlike Mass. A few months in, a sermon on sin, backed by Scripture, challenged my Catholic beliefs and I was floored. I studied the Bible, discussed it with my pastor and friends, and eventually saw the gospel as it is clearly explained in Scripture. Through all of this, I was greatly humbled and repented from my sinful pride in thinking I’d somehow earned God’s favor, but instead realizing it is only due to the sacrifice of His Son that I am able to be washed clean from my sin. This was in 2007 and I am thankful every day for how the Lord called me to Himself and that I have the opportunity to grow and serve alongside faithful brothers and sisters at Heritage.
