In Acts 16 v31 we read,'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved', the man who said this was the Apostle Paul,formerly known as Saul. He was a very religious person and he really hated Christians to the point that he persecuted them and would have murdered them ( Acts 9 v1-3 / 22 v 3 ff/ 26 v 4ff).But this all changed when on a journey to Damascus to arrest Christians ,he had a dramatic experience,Christ revealed Himself to him,and he became a Christian. Everyone's experience of becoming a Christian is different,not only that ,before they become a Christian they may not have been drunkards murderers, thieves,and so on,but of course they were still sinners and needed Christ,Their testimony may not be dramatic,but it is real,but they make think that they may not have much of testimony to give.I heard of a girl who was brought up in a Christian home and believed in Christ all her life.So at a large Christian gathering she gave her testimony,she had a paper in front of her and she started to read from it,praising God for preserving her from alcohol,and so followed a list of things that God had kept her from. Even in my own life I have been preserved from things that could have destroyed me.We all have a testimony how God in His mercy saved us out of sin,but also how he saved us from sinning, both are valid evidence of God's saving grace .
