Why I believe in Christ
Before the MBBS course started, as freshman there were lots of registration and procedures had to be done...On the day when I came back to the University for vaccination, I met 2 girls who asked if I had time to listen to their religion...I said yes..so I listened to the core messages of Jesus' salvation. They asked if I would like to spend some time to look at the Bible with them. So I studied the Bible with them, esp about the core messages in the salvation(eg: who's God, man's sin, who's Jesus, Jesus, death & resurrection) This is what they called EBS( evangelistic bible study). At last, I was challenged by them if I would like to follow Christ. Then I made the decision.
When I was still young, I thought I will believe God one day, perhaps the last day of my life. But may be I just need Christ very much (I felt quite lonely and helpless, I believed this God can help me to overcome these ..so I made the decision). Of course, during the EBS, I was convinced that God made the world - when I was asked if I can believe that a watch's presence is due to explosion, making up the parts so perfectly or I believe the watch needs someone to make it...how can you believe this complicated world is there just because of chance or explosion...it obviously needs someone's design. Also, I knew much more about the Bible which is so accurate and amazing: in JOHN19:34 described how the soldier checked whether Jesus was dead by piercing Jesus' side with a spear...the Bible said, "bringing a sudden flow of blood & water. The " water" means serum...which from the medicine point of view separation of the blood cells & serum signified that person is dead..the description by John was so detail and precise...John may not know the significance of " water and blood"..but it striked me as John was being very accurate and honest in recording the life of Jesus.
Because of all that I believed Christ...it grows to me that Jesus is alive everyday in my life.
I had been having the feeling of loneliness since very young...probably since I transfered to another primary school in P4. I had to repeat a year because the principal there believed my English was not up to standard ( I should have requested a test...it turned out that I came first in class in the first term there). I adjusted poorly to the new personel and environment that I hardly remembered if I had spoken more than three sentences per day during those three years in that school. I blamed that bad experience for shaping my character very much. That's why I felt so helpless when I face a new environment everytime.
These sense of loneliness, disappeared gradually after I became a Christian. God has given me a peace in mind. Years later, some old friends meet me again and were surprised to see I am now a happy girl who wears a smile on the face most of the time.
God is our help for today, our hope for tomorrow. He carries me through many trials in my life - final year examination, looking for job after graduation, contracted SARS at workplace...He is the living God who walk with me everyday. Hallelujah!
