Meet Jun and Bernie

Jun and Bernie are from the Philippines but went to Australia for employment. They believed they needed to do good things to be saved, and they prayed to Mary. Both Jun and Bernie started to feel restless – that they were not growing in their faith. They heard the gospel and Bernie trusted in Jesus Christ to be her Lord and Savior. She started reading the Bible and learning, but Jun made fun of her. Bernie prayed for her husband’s salvation. In time Jun did receive Christ also. Jun talks about the order that Jesus brings to his life, and how Christ has brought his family closer.

Meet Cynthia

Cynthia describes how she was brought up in a home that stressed performance and doing things right. She carried that over into her relationship with God, and relied on being a good person to make her right with God. However, Cynthia felt an emptiness inside she couldn’t explain. She shared with her pastor-husband her concerns that she wasn’t really saved. She tried praying to receive Christ but stumbled because of thinking she had to say certain things and say them right. After counsel and prayer, she finally let go and found it was easy to surrender her heart to Christ. In that moment she knew Jesus died for her sins. Cynthia offers advice for anyone who is unsure whether they are truly saved.
