Islam was my religion. I was born into a practising Muslim family. As an adult, I no longer practised my religion but neither would I accept the superiority of another religion. Later, a sergeant, Bible in hand, told me that Jesus was not only a prophet but that He was also the Saviour of the world prophesied in the Old Testament.
Upset, I remembered my mother’s warning, “Don’t forget that the Old Testament was changed by the Jews and the New Testament by the Christians.” One Bible verse with the words of Christ, however, kept coming to mind, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him... I found it impossible to forget those words. Returning from the cinema one day where I tried to get my mind off these things I went into a chapel and asked Christ to come into my heart. I obtained forgiveness that day. Jesus Christ is my personal Saviour, and it is He who directs my life.
