“He takes the gloom and fills the life with glory, for all is changed when Jesus comes to stay.” — Oswald Smith

I got saved when I was 14 years old at a youth group event at my church. I grew up in a Christian family. I was brought to church as a baby. My family had family devotional time and prayed together. All of that was great and was a solid foundation for me and my siblings.

Yet, none of that was able to save me and provide for my eternal salvation.

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many [a]mansions; if it were not so, [b]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. (John 14:1–6, NKJV)
