 All right, and with us next is Carlos Jimenez the husband My name is Carlos So from the time I can remember I was in church My family brought me up in church. So I knew of God and of the Bible and of the stories of the Bible I knew of Christ's work on the cross and his love and forgiveness in the sight of many I was a Christian and a good guy. I did the things Christians did I went to church I read my Bible every now and then which was very seldom at the time I didn't do drugs then smoke stay out of trouble for the most part. So in the world's eyes I was a Christian In Christ's eyes though, I was a liar an adult's red heart sexually immoral a murder at heart a thief And I dollars her Pryphal you name it and I was it Yet there was nothing that would have told me that I was not saved because I believed in God I had said the prayer several times. I had rededicated my life to Christ many times. I cried about it So it had to be real. I made myself believe that it was that was a source of my salvation in our Christ You know so for the sake of time I fast forward to my coming to cornerstone I came here and went through the motions. I became involved. I started going to grew Got discipled by brother Mike Dinger She had the gospel with others when I should have started with me first I Gained a lot of knowledge of Christ and of the word of God, but none of it had any effect on my heart I was still the same person as before I was still angry prideful and I dollars her I saw some changes in my life. So that assured me of my salvation. I Had turned faith and repentance into a work Something that I had to do just to get saved Christ had nothing to do with it I began to have issues with assurance My marriage was failing my son hated me and feared me. I knew there was a problem What was too prideful to seek any help? I finally agreed to get counseled by pastor Charlie I thought that my wife was definitely the problem, but to my surprise it was obviously me. I hated the person I had become I came to the hardest realization during this time that I was not saved For the first time sin against my sin against God was real Hell became real. I had broken his laws and knew that the only penalty was hell If I had died during that time, I would have surely gone to hell and rightly so I had nothing left I could rely on for Christ. There was nothing I can do that could earn his favor There was very low moment for me a Low moment, but a place he had to take me. I was broken and hopeless It caused me to rely on Christ and Christ alone His work on the cross on the cross gives me now meant something different to me I have heard it many times, but now it was real to me I could understand the sacrifice that was made God stepping down from his throne and dying for me I Understood what him dying for my sins actually melt meant The idol I had created was gone now through Christ. I stand here changed man Grateful thankful and humble my relationship with Christ has changed and so has my relationship with sin I'm changed not from anything that I did, but what Christ has done
