By reading the books of Paul C. Jong I have come to know the real truth of life.
Long ago, I was very upset because of my circumstances. The bitterness of life made it difficult for me to survive in this world. My father suffered a stroke and passed away after spending many years in illness. I could not repay my father`s debt even after selling my ancestral home. I dropped out of school and started working to support my mother and two younger brothers. There were many problems in my life. I was very worried about my future. My father was a man of faith in God. He distributed food to the poor, gave regular donations, respected the pastors, and even my father donated half of our ancestral land to the church. After my father`s death, I too followed in his footsteps. I gave tithes even in hardships and was in the forefront in all the work of the church. But despite doing all this, I was not calm and did not know the truth. So, I decided to commit suicide. I searched on the internet for an easy way to commit suicide. During my continuous search, I suddenly found the website of The New Life Mission.
And I saw there our first book “Have you truly been Born Again of Water and the Spirit?” and I found out that it was free. So I decided to read this book before committing suicide. It was in 2017 that I was born again through the gospel of water and spirit. I learned that my circumstances led me to reach out to God. Just as, “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
Therefore, I believe that mankind was born into sin and continues to sin all the time. But God loved us so much that He sent His only-begotten Son into this world, He was incarnate, born of the virgin Mary, He took away all the sins of mankind by being baptized from John Baptist on the Jordan River, He took our sins to the cross and shed His blood and paid the price for all our sins (past, present, future). Now I am the righteous Son of God without sin, and I have received the Holy Spirit in gift. As the Bible says, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38).
Now the Holy Spirit dwells in my heart. I have an ache of spread the gospel of the water and the Spirit to all sinners. I am indebted to all souls. My life is dedicated to telling all sinners about God`s righteousness that was fulfilled on the Jordan River. When I don`t serve the Gospel, I become very sad, my heart is filled with sorrow, and I begin to break. This is because when the Holy Spirit who dwells in me is sad, I am sad, but when the Holy Spirit is happy, I am happy.
My brothers and sisters’, being born again is not everything. Real life begins after being born again. We must fellowship with our church after being born again. We must continue to read the books of Reverend Paul C. Jong so that our faith becomes stronger. We must pray every day for our church, for the workers, and for all the faithful brothers and sisters. We must work together with our church. We must submissively obey every-admonish of our church, even if it is contrary to what we think. We must give up the desires of the flesh and walk with the spirit. Only then can we live a life of perfect faith, and can obey the commandment of the Lord, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,” (Matthew 28:19).
