Veil Lifted, Freed From A Sin Conscience

I am free and the veil of the law has been lifted from my eyes, thanks to the teachings of our Lord Jesus through Joseph Prince.

Before this, I had been reading the Bible looking for answers about my salvation. I wasn’t sure about my salvation and had even pleaded with Jesus to make me just a gatekeeper outside heaven’s gate. I had even started climbing the hill near our town where a cross burns at night, thinking that if I went up the hill to pray, then I would finally feel that God was happy with me. But none of these made sense.

I was taught that even as believers, we are all sinners and we all fall short of the glory of God. At the church I attended, I was made to feel worthless and guilty with all the preaching against pornography, smoking, drinking, adultery and lying. While I gave up smoking, there was an endless list of other things that I needed to give up, but I couldn’t. I was just burdened by one sin after another—giving up one only to be faced with another. And no matter what I did or did not do, I believed that I would still be a sinner because only one Man, Jesus, is without sin.

It was one Sunday that I happened to hear Joseph Prince’s sermon on grace. I was so captivated and intrigued. I had heard of grace before but no one has ever explained it the same way as Pastor Prince. I had to hear more and could not wait till the following Sunday!

Well, when that Sunday came, I went to church and heard a sermon about going to hell instead of heaven. I remembered being so distressed and troubled that day that I did not even watch Pastor Prince on television after church. It was then that my wife and I agreed not to go back to that church again. I don’t remember exactly how long it was before I ran into Pastor Prince’s broadcast again. I heard once more his sermon on grace and suddenly things started to make sense.

I’ve read his book, Destined To Reign, and all I can say is that everything in there is true. As soon as I stopped trying but believed that Jesus had done everything on the cross, sin left me alone day by day. I became stronger through Christ Jesus and the miracle is not in the stopping of smoking, drinking or watching pornography, but the miracle is grace.

What the Bible says about entering into His rest all make sense now. I never understood that till I was taught grace.
