受洗

     

2008年1月11日，我如願受洗。好朋友們來到教會觀禮，接著聚會慶祝。我非常非常開心。感謝主！ 

我的三分鍾簡短受洗見證如下，希望對朋友們有所幫助。由於時間有限，不能詳述細節，以後有機會再寫。 

After six years, I have reached the point that I know God and trust Him enough to put myself into His hands. I love God as He is. All I want is to be closer to God because He is so good. In Jesus, I have real joy in my heart and peace of mind. 

I came from China and had hardly any Christian knowledge before I came to Canada. I went to church in 2003 because I got curious when a guy told me he had a PERSONAL relationship with God. A few months later I became busy and stopped going. But God didn’t leave me while I was away. He arranged Christians around helping me learn about him. I actually grew through the discussions.

I was so far away from God that I never could imagine being a Christian. I thought I must first settle all the doubts as well as make sure I can do the things God wants us to do. Back then, it seems almost impossible. When I prayed to God, I asked Him to show me He is real in any way and if He guided me I would not resist. Since then lots of amazing things happened. I still have the questions but my heart was changed by God. I became humble and obedient. I was really connected to God at the end of 2006 

Soon after I came to XXChurch in 2007, strangely I had this feeling that I would certainly be a Christian eventually, I was not there yet, but I would be there. And I was not anxious at all. 

Then one day at the end of 2007 I was sure I wanted to be baptized. I didn’t get there through the way I expected at all. God made it happen in His own way, which I have no idea how, and with the opposite order. I believed in Him and learnt to trust first, and then he showed his work on me. Thus I figured out what faith was. We sometimes have to make our first move. It is like the Israelites [Isereilaiz] at the sea with the Egyptians behind them. They walked into the ocean. There were no signs of how God was going to support them. The first steps were in the water but when they continued with faith, at that moment, the sea split.  

Talking about Grace, I am grateful whenever I remember it is not only me who looked for God but also and more it is God who drew me close to Him. Grace is given to us because God loves us, not because of our goodness or efforts. 

Today I am ready to declare proudly to the world that I belong to Jesus and have started the journey following Him. I am all excited and full of joy.  

Thank you, my heavenly Father.

I want to finish with one of my favorite scriptures: 

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto thee.

Praise Lord!

謝謝爾爾。神愛世人，他也愛你。嗬嗬

盈袖, 恭喜你! 真為你高興! 願神永遠保佑善良的人!

回複餅姐姐的評論:
最近貼的文章有點長，但是真的值得花一點時間讀讀。我很受啟發，它們出自資深基督徒，回答了很多普遍的問題，我希望能夠幫助一些剛剛聽到福音的朋友，也是我花很多時間打出來的原因。

回複沙漠玫瑰123的評論: 太感謝你了
願神的眼目眷顧你, 願神的手扶植你, 願神的靈帶領你, 從現在直到永遠.
還有比這更好的祝福嗎？：）我也這樣祝福你。

[盈袖2006]

回複苗青青的評論: 謝謝青青，我做了，才知道這個儀式比我想的要重要。保羅是我仰慕的，他的經曆顯示了神的大愛和作為。我敬佩他在神的帶領下做的一切以及他的激情，懇切，和堅定。真的是基督徒的驕傲。
也許我們不會有這樣的RADICAL CALL, 但我們也可以這樣生活。 A HOLY LIFE OF HEAVEN ON THIS CORRUPTING EARTH.

[餅姐姐]

我慢慢看，謝謝分享!

恭喜呀~~~~在主內得到了新生命. 願神的眼目眷顧你, 願神的手扶植你, 願神的靈帶領你, 從現在知道永遠. 阿門.

恭喜盈袖，邁出受洗這一步！

我三年前受洗，經曆了很多事。如今我最喜歡保羅的人生境界：“我已經學會無論在什麽景況都可以知足。 我知道什麽是缺乏，也知道什麽是富足。我已經學會了在任何情況下都滿足的秘訣， 不論飽足和饑餓， 富足或缺乏。 我靠著那加給我力量的， 凡事都能做。”

有一次我們教會一位執事禱告， 他說的的很簡單: 神啊， 你有永生， 我還要什麽呢。

信主就是追求一個這樣的單純， 很美好的路。 這也是我目前的理想， 因為我還在過程中。

願神賜豐富生命和你同在！

教會現在在我的生活裏占很重要的地位。我也深切體會得到你說的話的意思。那天查經幾個老基督徒說如果沒有了神，她們的生活將有一個無法彌補的缺陷，一個很大的失落空間。

我們對特別的日子總是記得牢。
我比你早三個月來到這裏。
關鍵是，不能有一刻脫離教會。

[盈袖2006]

謝謝米麥，很多人以為我已經受浸了的，我已經開始了基督徒的生活。因為教會日程的原因，從去年一直拖到今年。
我不敢相信你寫的日子！2001年8月26號是我來溫哥華的那天。
是的，感謝主，隻有嚐過這甘甜的人才深信神的存在和愛。我希望今後的日子他也一直與我們同在。EMMANUEL!

[小米和小麥]

感謝主！

我以為你已經受浸的了。這時候一定是最甜美的時候，祝賀你！
我是2001年8月26號受浸的，和我的一個從溫哥華去多倫多的同學是同一天，也是她最開始向我傳福音的。

這幾年，我也是反反複複，但感謝主，一直保守我們！
