And now,Tim LeFebvre tells the story of his salvation, which led to a recent baptism at Sojourn Gathered:

I grew up in a Christian home with my parents and two younger sisters.  We regularly attended church, but I relied on my parents’ faith to save me until I was a teenager.

While attending a Christian sports camp, I heard a sermon about how my parents’ faith will not get me into heaven, but that I needed to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to be actively seeking Christ in my day to day life.  This revelation turned on a light bulb in my heart that it was time for me to declare my own faith in Jesus Christ.  It was time for me to realize what I had heard all my life growing up and it make it my own.  To proclaim that I am a sinner, but through Jesus Christ alone, I am saved by God’s grace because He paid the ultimate price, death, for my sins.

Since becoming a child of God, the weight of my sins no longer is a burden to me because of God’s forgiveness.  I feel God’s protection over my life and my decisions.  I feel blessed by God by being surrounded by godly friends that challenge me in my faith.  I still struggle with becoming too self-involved, but I know that with God’s forgiveness and grace that I can have victory in my struggle.  I rejoice in the fact that I know that through Jesus Christ that I have eternal life in heaven awaiting me!
