I was once someone who did not seek God. As a child, I followed my parents to temples and shrines, joining my hands in prayer to Buddha or various deities as they instructed. But as I grew older, doubts began to surface, and I eventually stopped participating in those practices.
The year I left my family home and began living on my own, I was given the opportunity to hear the word of God. On a cold day, I spent over an hour studying the Bible, and among all the teachings, the one that struck me most deeply was the truth of the Passover. When I realized that Christ Ahnsahnghong, who brought back the Passover, is in fact God, I was utterly astonished. He had fulfilled every prophecy of the Bible, leaving no room for doubt.
In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.” Isa 25:9
Though I am always thankful to dwell in God, this verse fills my heart with even greater joy. It reminds me again and again: “The Church of God is the very place where God dwells. To meet God—it is a miracle.”
I am sincerely grateful that God has bestowed the blessing of salvation on someone as unworthy as I am. I will remain a faithful child, following Heavenly Father and Mother to the very end.
