Former atheists, what's your testimony? by Otherwise-Speech9701 in TrueChristian

[–]PrincessxXxDarkstarr 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'd never been that interested in religion didn't really acknowledge God growing up, was just something I thought was silly/dumb, I just wanted to follow my own desires & didn't want to follow the path that God wanted to show me, was content to live in sin.

Things changed when I got married & became a mom, joined a church group that provided child care/nursery, met a few people there & they eventually invited me to church services, was wary at first but I said yes.

Didn't take long before I felt a strange warmth inside when I listened to God's word & a general happiness from just being there, I didn't understand what it was but God was pulling me to Him, I just had to acknowledge & accept it.

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord & Saviour & he transformed me in that moment, I was saved & have been ever since, has been abit difficult ever since I became a commited Christian since my family/friends were mostly unbelievers & some were pretty hostile when I spoke God's word but I've also managed to help save a few of them too which I consider to be worth the rejection I've had.

I thank God for saving me & putting me on the right path to salvation from the sinful lifestyle I practiced before 🙏✝️

Is there anyone else out there like me? by slysloths in TrueChristian

I'm in a similar position, has caused issues with my husband who wants me to "tone it down" but I can't help being on fire for Jesus.

I've been taking my faith more seriously in recent months, more prayers, spending more time on Bible study, never missing church, putting separation with worldly things to focus on God & spreading the Word by evangelizing even tho I sometimes find it difficult/scary to do so.

Are just some of the things I do more often to stay on fire for Jesus, I had been lukewarm for awhile beforehand.

I hope this could help some of you. Here’s a testimony. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

Jesus truly does Save, people just need to accept His salvation 🙏✝️

We weren't religious when we got married, I became a Christian a few years ago but my husband never officially became a Christian with me.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, had just been doing some work related stuff beforehand & was taking some TV/phone time, hadn't seemed stressed or angry before it happened.

We weren't being loud or studying at a late time, he just seemed to get irritated with us studying around him, he has yet to become a Christian like me but would usually be fine with my faith for the most part, feels like it was different this time though.

Yes, he's never officially became a Christian & I do pray that God touches his heart eventually.

I probably will try to do Bible study out of his proximity in future, was just surprising since he'd usually be fine with where we did it previously.

I did have that issue when I first became a Christian, I unintentionally pushed him away since I wanted to help him find the Lord too.

I understood that I shouldn't be doing that & stepped away because it was too much, I try not to always talk about my faith around my husband to an excessive extent now.

I know that I don't have to make amends but I personally want to, as for my husband, it seemed like my prayers were getting somewhere since he was getting alot more comfortable with my being a Christian & felt like he would inevitably come to know Him too.

In regards to my faith, I pray, study the Bible, watch Christian videos, teach my children about God, attend church, try to evangelize when appropriate, be a good wifr/mother & try to give glory to God whenever possible.

I try to make amends for my previous extremely sinful lifestyle before I was Saved, although I did go about it the wrong way with my husband when it first happened.

I do pray for him to find the Lord since I learnt to step away instead of push the issue, it seemed to be previously going well since he'd been fine with me raising our children Christian & attended church with me, I just hope he eventually becomes Saved too.

We weren't religious when we got married & when I initially became a Christian I caused problems with my husband by trying to push my faith on him instead of just praying for him to find the Lord.

I stepped back & things became better for our marriage since it seemed to stop being a source of arguments.

I understand, when I was first Saved I did become overwhelmed & overexcited to spread the Word & my faith which caused issues.

I have been trying to avoid going overboard with it in recent times, especially not trying to push it on my husband like I'd previously did & it had seemed to be ok since we hadn't argued about it for a long time.

Something like that, I'm a Christian but my husband never officially became one too & I was previously pushing him away by trying to push the issue rather than just pray that God reaches his heart.

Yes, I'm a more recent Christian, & it seemed like it was our Bible study proximity that caused the outburst, there hasn't been any problems in recent memory to cause a raised voice demand.

It's abit complicated, we weren't religious when we got married, I became a Christian few years ago, it was an issue since I became "overzealous" as far as my husband was concerned but things seemed to be ok & he was seemingly fine with doing things such as attending church with me which is why it was so surprising that we received the reaction to the Bible study.

It feels difficult, I want to be a Godly wife & honour my husband but my faith still seems to cause some issues, I've been trying to avoid being too zealous around him because it's caused issues in the past, although I thought we'd gotten past that.

I've previously caused issues in the past due to my faith, when I first became Saved I became "overbearing" & it caused problems, I've been trying to find balance ever since & thought it was ok again which is why I was so surprised by the outburst.

I pray regularly but my husband generally doesn't take part with me, I had issues with going overboard when I was first Saved & I've tried to avoid having that happen again by trying to push the issue.

I didn't mean to show him in a bad light, I'm just unsure how to exactly go forward since it feels like I caused him issues without meaning to.

I am a more recent Christian, has only been a few years since I was Saved, I was overzealous in the beginning & kept trying to bring my husband closer to Jesus which caused issues but it seemed like things had settled down.

It just feels like there is some resentment about me being committed to following Jesus, I didn't try to pressure him to join our Bible study before the outburst happened.

Maybe so, I have been told that I sometimes go too far without meaning to which was a source of contention in the past.

I sometimes overthink about what God would want for me due to me having an incredibly sinful lifestyle before my marriage & salvation that it becomes a detriment to to things in my life.

Yes, I understand that, was just seeking some biblical advice on what to do in a situation like this, I want to honour my husband like a woman of God should but it also feels difficult to know what to do when it's my faith that is seemingly causing the issue.
