[Jedediah]

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

The LORD brings us a constant stream of unsaved trash, that we may edify them and help them to grow strong in Him. Oftentimes, however, I feel that our righteousness and radiant glory are simply too much for the unsaved to comprehend all at once, and they may log off feeling dispirited and unworthy, incapable of ever reaching our level of perfection.

I think we need to remind the unsaved that we were once as wretched as they are now, wallowing in sin, depredation, and total depravity.

Psalm 51:5
Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

For the purpose of exhorting the unsaved trash who visit our forum to turn over a new life and accept Jesus' kind offer of Redemption, it would be helpful to share with them our own personal testimonies of how we came to walk with Christ.

I'll start.
