My testimony is not that I had never heard of God and so lived as one without Him; it is rather that I heard a great deal about God even from my earliest recollections. My mother brought us up in church and the stories of Jesus stirred me even then to the point that I wished to walk forward and make my profession of faith in Him. I understood at the time that I was a sinner according to Romans 3:23 and that Christ had come to pay for my sins. In Matthew 9:12 and 13, I learned that God did not come to save the righteous, but those he knew were sick and needed a physician. So I believed that to some degree I was also sick and in need of God's grace. This was only the beginning though. It was not until many years later that I began to see how sick I was.
