Coming To God Through Christ, No Longer Depressed

Last December, my father passed away. It was a very difficult time for me and his death reminded me of how weak I am and how short my human life is.

Then, my wife (a Christian) and I went to Singapore. There, her sister invited us to attend New Creation Church’s New Year service. I had initially said no but at the last minute I joined them.

At the service, I heard how Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross to mend my broken relationship with God. I felt God’s love for me. I understood that it is not about my works, and that the only way to come to God is through His Son, Jesus, the perfect Man and the perfect God.

I found myself praying and crying, asking God to forgive my sins especially because I had believed that I could get closer to God through my good works. I now know that in believing and trusting in Jesus, I receive His righteousness because He carried my sins.

Since then, the Lord has been revealing Himself to me through the teaching of the Bible. Recently, I asked to join my wife in church and since then, we have been attending church regularly. I listen to your sermons every week and I feel blessed. And for the first time in seven years, I can sleep and I don’t feel depressed anymore.

I wanted to share this with you and to tell you that the three requests I asked for—peace and love in my life, and safety for my kids—are holding true.

Thank you and God bless you as you help people to come to know Christ.
