Damascus Experience For 15-Year-Old

I truly thank God for using Pastor Joseph Prince to preach the message of grace.

I am a 15-year-old boy from South Africa and I want to testify that his sermons have really enlightened me and I am growing in my knowledge and understanding of grace.

A month ago on a Thursday, I was about to go on a fast for righteousness because I believed that I had truly failed God due to my sins. I had believed that in order to please God, I have to live right to impress Him.

But that Thursday morning, I watched Pastor Joseph Prince’s sermon about the gift of righteousness and it brought me so much peace and relief. It was like my own Damascus experience and for the first time I understood that I don’t have to do right to be righteous, that I am already righteous and it’s that righteousness that propels me to live right.

This was also the first time for me to be living out of condemnation because Pastor Prince also said that Christ was condemned so that I did not have to be condemned. God Himself has assured me that righteousness is a gift from and I don’t have to work to earn it.
