Hi! My name is Artom. I'm 22 years and for the last 7 years I have experienced the manifestation of true love in my life. For some of you my story will seem quite normal. I was not a difficult child growing up. I never experimented with drugs or alcohol. I was given a good education. In general I had a normal fulfilling life. But you know what? My life was not complete! Every one of us is looking to satisfy the desire if the heart with something. Whether it be Work education or drugs or alcohol, creativity or the philosophy, man is always seeking to fill the emptiness of normal life. I found out 7 years ago that nothing can ever replace the presence of true love and true God in your life. It has been said that every person is born with a cross shaped void in their heart, and then we spend the rest of our lives trying to fill a cross shape with a squares of a circles, that obviously will not fit. That was the story of my life. In 2004, a team of missionaries came to our city. They made two free concerts and between the music they told about the person of Jesus Christ from the Bible. I did not quite understand what was happening to me because I knew virtually nothing about faith and God, but God was speaking to my heart and I felt that I must do something. One man on the team then told me about God. He did not say anything supernatural he spoke very simple and understandable about what was missing in my life Jesus Christ. That Day I accepted God into my life.
Wow ... it was something special. I knew that my life had changed, but had no idea how much. God changed me day by day. I started noticing things that had not previously seen or understood. Yeah, sometimes it was not easy to change old attitudes and habits. It’s not always easy living the Christian life and to admit mistakes and repent of them. But I now have the realization that my sins have been paid in full, and I know that Jesus Christ is the one who paid the price for me and that I will never die but have eternal life with HIm. It is Jesus Christ who gives us strength, faith, understanding, courage, and everything you need to live. God has a plan for every one of us! We just need to listen to Him as written in His word. Nobody knows better how to deal with the creation than the Creator! God created us to know Him in our life. He also gave us detailed instructions for our lives - the Bible. Look what God has to say to us…:

Ro for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Ro For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ro 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Ro 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
God bless you, Artom
