EASTER 2025 - TESTIMONIES OF SALVATION

My testimony as a letter to God

Dear God,

Before I knew You, I lived a life without much thought about the deeper questions—life, death, or what comes after. I wasn’t someone particularly inquisitive, but as I went through difficult times, I started to question them. My turning point was when I began to fear death, uncertain of what awaited me beyond this life. Would I simply cease to exist? Or was reincarnation real? I searched for answers, but nothing I heard brought peace. Even those around me, though well-meaning, could offer only empty assurances. And all I could do was to carry this fear with me silently for years.

Yet, without my realizing it, You were already at work in my life. You began to make me feel the weight of my sins—both past and present. No matter how much I tried to move past them, I couldn’t seem to forgive myself. But even if I had, what would my own forgiveness mean? 

Then, one day, I came to know You—not just as the God of my family or friends, but for my own. I began to learn about Your character, and the more I did, the more I stood in amazement. You were the creator of heavens and earth, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient and more! Though Your nature was beyond my ability to comprehend, in Your mercy, You gave me a heart willing to accept who You are.

Among all the traits I learnt about you, I remember resonating most with You being a God who forgives. That You are a God both kind and powerful enough to forgive me of my sins. And that was when I knew you are the God who held the answers I had been seeking!

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

1 John 1:9

But You didn’t just give me an answer for my sins; You also gave me an answer for my fear of death.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

—John 3:16

I learnt that You are a gracious God, giving me what I do not deserve, and a merciful God, withholding the punishment I deserve. You offered salvation freely, and all that was required of me was to put my faith in Christ. You reassured me that life didn’t end after death, but in fact heaven awaits us- where we live together with God.

From that point on, I learned to have faith, not in myself, but in Christ. I learned to repent, to seek forgiveness, not on the basis of my own merit, but on the foundation of His sacrifice. 

As I take this step of baptism, I pray that You would keep me close to You always. Although I may fall back to my mistakes, I pray that you would continue to sanctify me, to mold me into the person You desire me to be. I pray that my life becomes a testimony to Your grace, mercy, and unfailing love. Thank You, God!

From a very young age, my mum brought my siblings and I to church. I grew up attending Sunday school classes regularly and participated in several junior worship activities as well as church retreats and camps. As such, I was introduced to many Bible stories at a very young age and learnt of Jesus’ love and sacrifice for us when he came down to earth from heaven to lead an exemplary and perfect life before dying on the cross for our sins. 

Looking back at my days in school to national service and finally into my adult working years, there have been many occasions when I encountered difficult times, trials and tribulations and even back-slid from the faith. However, God was there for me each and every time. He has always been a prayer away and has been my refuge and strength whenever I needed a listening ear and encouragement. (Psalm 46:1)

I am thankful that whenever I stray from the flock, the good Shepherd would somehow find a way to call me back. The Lord indeed is my Shepherd and I shall want for nothing (Psalm 23:1) Deep down inside, the verses in Romans 8:38-39 quietly resonates within me and, I am truly persuaded that nothing can separate us from the love of God. 

As it is written in John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. And so today, I would like to re-acknowledge that I am born a sinner and the wages of sin is death (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23a) and am truly grateful for the most wonderful act of love which is when Jesus died on the cross for my sins and paved a way of salvation for everyone that believes in Him. 

Thank you Lord.

My manner of life from my youth, has been that of a freethinker amidst the mix of religions I’ve been exposed to. I remember my grandmother telling me stories from the Bible when I was in kindergarten, about Adam and Eve, and the evil snake and the apple. I remember the yearly tradition of going to the temple during Qingming Festival and looking forward to the feast of garlic bread and chicken soup at the coffeeshop nearby. But what I remember clearest was when I learnt about the theory of evolution in high school. I was convinced that it explained away the need for a Creator. How could my Christian classmates still believe in God when evidence was staring them straight in the face? I never considered the possibility that they might be right. 

The turning point came when I was in university. In 2021, while clocking steps for a school walkathon, my friend Ruth would share the gospel with me and explain it logically. Despite my disbelief, her patience and humility won me over and the first seeds were planted. The watering came later in 2023 when another classmate Faith invited me to her church’s Easter service. The pastor spoke well but a free copy of “The Case for Christ” spoke even better. The book argued the case convincingly, that Jesus existed and is God, who died on the cross and was resurrected. Yet the significance of the truth did not spur any action. I went for a few more services here and there but never appreciated the fact that I needed the mercy of God. While I saw and heard, I did not perceive and understand. The heart was still of stone. Thankfully, in 2024, while rotating through a hospital not far away, I was invited to attend the Exploring Christianity (EC) programme. With my final exams coming up, I put the decision on the back burner. In most cases, sitting on the fence would have resulted in non-action. And yet, there was no running away from the irresistible grace of God. The alignment of several stars and a series of fortunate events in the midst of my exams inspired me to sign up for the programme, accompanied by two trusted friends. The rest, they say, is history.

From my classes in EC, to catechism now, I am grateful for the mentorship and fellowship that I’ve experienced in Life B-P Church. My world view has changed, and I am slowly unlearning what I learnt in my previous life, to cast aside other masters and submit myself to Him. I am comforted in knowing the boundless love God has for me. I am but a little seedling now, with much more to learn and grow. I strive to live a life of love as a testimony for Christ, so that others may come to know Him, just as I do now.

— Nicholas Teo Kai Kiak (Baptism)

Coming from a Buddhist family all my growing up years led to me being guided to pray to my ancestors on occasions, with joss sticks. I was just taught to do good deeds and good karma will follow me.

Coming from a Christian school, we had our weekly chapel service at school period. It’s something all students had to attend and I went through the motion.

Many years after marriage, I saw my wife and children regularly attending church. One of my children I felt was particularly religious, surprising me one day that she also considered mission work.

I was asked to attend Easter Sundays and Christmas mornings church service with the family, which I obliged. Occasionally I was asked to attend church regularly and was asked about my thoughts in the afterlife by my wife and sister. I just brushed it off that it was not the time to think too much of this.

When mum, whom I love dearly, decided to switch to Christianity at the behest of my sister, it quite shocked me. But I saw the calmness and peace in my mum, thereafter giving herself fully to God. She diligently read the Bible, quoting phrases memorised and watching all the different services recorded and sent to her by the family, when she stopped attending church from the onset of Covid.

She convinced me to deepen my faith in Christianity so that we could all be reunited after life on earth. She always left the decision to me. This message was also frequently impressed on me by my family too. From there, I attended church regularly just to hear and learn more.

I have been asked many times to attend Alpha class to ask any questions I may have to convince me about the questions I had on the teachings, and to clear any doubts in mind. The final straw was the suggestion from my sister to attend the catechism class at her church. My concern was being able to commit the time with my activities and travels. Falling short on attendance was also a problem.

Anyway I thought to attend a session or two to get a feel and the notes which I thought I could just read. She offered to handhold me in the process to the 1st session and my wife also offering to attend the class with me convinced me. The option to hear the recording for sessions missed also helped me follow through the course. The sessions each week also enlightened me further and made me seriously consider moving forward in this Christian path. And here I am…

Reading the Bible, attending church and listening to the message widened my understanding of the word. Attending this class just further reinforces my belief in the Lord and the trinity that there is salvation for the believers, willing to repent and ask for his forgiveness. I am willing to give myself wholly to this faith.

— Patrick Thio Syn Wee (Baptism)

Faith has always been important to me. I yearned for a path I could commit to and trust in, allowing it to drive my values and provide deep meaning to my life. I was born a Hindu but found it difficult to connect with the faith, as it was not frequently practiced at home. As time passed, I gravitated towards geomancy, still searching for a source to fulfill my deep longing for faith. Yet, these practices were transactional, driving me to spend large sums of money for a false sense of comfort that my yearly tribulations were eased.

Despite my unsuccessful forays into faith, as a young military officer with fire in my belly, I convinced myself that relying on my abilities was the key to overcoming life’s challenges. Over time, I got married, started a family, and welcomed two beautiful children – Thaddeus and Thea. On the surface, many would describe our family as stable and successful. Yet, beneath it all, I felt as though our foundation was fragile, like a house of cards. I too was nearing burnout, but the longing within me for faith that could sanctify me and bring the spiritual breakthrough I so desperately sought remained.

When I reflect on my salvation, I struggle to pinpoint the exact sequence of events, but it truly felt as though I was engulfed by a spiritual tsunami. I first attended the Exploring Christianity program with my wife, through our friends Hannah and Jason Ong, who we knew through our children’s attendance at Far Eastern Kindergarten (FEK). My wife was always clear in her pursuit of faith, while I simply went along with it. Nevertheless, what started as mere accompaniment soon swept me into various encounters with God’s word. At every turn—through follow-up classes with the deacons and elders, conversations with the dedicated principal and staff at FEK, and even encounters during overseas work trips—I found myself immersed in God’s presence, having countless conversations about His love for us and His magnificent grace. Even a work colleague, whom I often saw both at FEK and at our workplace canteen, soon became a trusted confidant in Christ. I was in awe of God’s word.

As I continue to delve deeper into understanding God’s word, I realise that the spiritual tsunami I had experienced was the Holy Spirit engulfing me. Now, as I humbly acknowledge my sins and how far I’ve fallen from God’s expectations of man, I am filled with gratitude for His infinite mercy. He has guided me, helped me correct my ways, and nurtured within me a growing obedience to His word. The fragile house of cards I once feared has been transformed into a fortress, anchored by God’s unshakable grace.

Every day, I thank God for all that I have, and my heart overflows with gratitude. I love God with all my being, for He has saved me, and in Him, I have discovered true faith. This is my testimony of salvation, of how God’s spiritual tsunami swept me into His embrace.

My story of how Jesus saved me

I was born into a Buddhist family. Growing up, my parents emphasized doing good deeds to accumulate good karma for a better present life and for the future lives of my children. At one point, I saw myself as a pantheist, believing that "all gods are the same." Despite my upbringing, I often felt lost and uncertain. I struggled with feelings of anxiety, inadequacy and was consumed by worry about my future. I frequently asked myself, "What is the purpose of my life? Why am I here?" In search of quick answers, I turned to practices like geomancy and numerology.

 

I first encountered Jesus Christ about nine years ago through a client who shared with me about the Holy Trinity. I attended a home church with this client, eager to learn more about God’s word. In December 2017, I also went to a church camp. During that time, I felt deep shame about my sins, but I wasn't ready to repent, and my heart wasn't open to accepting Christ yet. The church members also discouraged me from staying in a relationship with my boyfriend at the time, who wasn’t a believer.

At that moment, I chose my boyfriend—now my husband—over following Christ. Although I had some understanding of God, I wasn’t ready to commit, as I still had many questions and found it difficult to walk with Christ while my boyfriend did not know Him. As the Bible says, it was challenging to navigate life with such different faiths. I knowingly made choices that went against God's word, but God understood my heart.

Despite my turning away, God continued to work in my life. I longed for my husband, Nigel, to know and learn about God. When we had our first child, I gave him a biblical name and enrolled him in a church kindergarten, hoping he would grow up with a strong foundation in God’s word. As our children began attending FEK school, I realized it was the right time for me to revisit my faith. Through friends like Angie and Hannah, I learned about the Exploring Christianity (EC) class at Life BP Church. I asked my husband if he would be open to attending the class with me, and to my surprise, he agreed.

With the patient guidance of Elder Peter, Dn Joshua, Hannah, and Jason, many of my questions were answered. This time, it was easier for me to confess my sins, repent, and accept Jesus as my Lord. Having my husband walk alongside me in the same faith made the process much smoother and comforting.

I am incredibly thankful for God's mercy. God is so gracious, forgiving, patient and merciful. Even though I had turned away from Him, He never abandoned me. I now know that God loves me deeply. Through my relationship with Him, I also experienced a healing in my relationship with my parents. I gained a better understanding of my mother’s struggles, and I learned how to empathize with her and love her in new ways. I’m also grateful for the church community and the fellowship I have in both the church and FEK mummies community.

God has blessed me with little miracles—prayers answered in ways that remind me that He hears me and that He is real. I can feel the Holy Spirit working in my life, guiding me every step of the way. My husband and I now live a Christ-centered life, and I am so thankful for the transformation God has brought into our lives.

My entire family, and the whole of my extended family, are all free thinkers. Growing up, I never really explored nor had exposure to any religion. A good majority of my friends from primary school to Junior College were also free thinkers. Thus, I rarely had conversations with anyone about religion.

There was, fortunately, one instance I recall when I heard about the gospel. When I was in secondary school, one of my neighbours brought my mum and I to her cell group gathering one day. She shared with me about the gospel, and I remember her drawing the bridge diagram showing how sin separated Man from God, and how Jesus reconnected Man to God. I remember I found the concept quite interesting, but I never gave much thought to it. After all, none of my family/friends/relatives are Christian, and I did not know anything about Christianity except for that picture, which I now came to know as the bridge illustration. Similarly, my mum also did not explore Christianity further. She believes that there is a higher being in this universe, but she is at the age where her worldview is more or less fixed, and she could not be bothered to explore religions. My dad also has no interest to explore religions, so our family remained as free thinkers.

Throughout the rest of secondary school and junior college, I continued living in my own bubble and being preoccupied with school work and activities. None of my good friends were Christians and no one else came up to me to share with me about the gospel. I maintained the worldview that religion is a social construct that communities formed for themselves to maintain their own strength, unity and harmony. Having studied the theory of evolution in JC Biology, I also believed that single-celled organisms evolved to become multi-celled organisms, and environmental-driven forces eventually resulted in the wide diversity of flora and fauna on earth now, together with human beings.

At the start of 2024, when I was in Year 2 in University, two of my close friends from JC started exploring Christianity. During our meet-ups, they discussed about Christianity and their experiences of going to church. This sparked my curiosity and I thought that it was perhaps time for me to explore Christianity, too.

Around the same time period, my friend Jacqueline asked me if I wanted to join her for Exploring Christianity classes at her church (Zion Bishan BP). I said yes and we went for a 7-week course that touched on the fundamental concepts of Christianity. I am very grateful for the facilitators Christina, Hannah and Ben for patiently answering our questions and sharing with us their journey with God. We also covered the book of Mark, and that was actually the first time I read the Bible!

In the following month, another interesting constellation of events led me to reconnect with one of my acquaintances from secondary school. She shared with me more about God and Bible history. She also invited me to Exploring Christianity classes at her church, and this is how I came to Life BP Church!

During our Exploring Christianity classes here, we had comprehensive lessons on the history of the Bible, and delved deeply into the book of John. We had many memorable discussions about how mankind came about, the state of the world today, and where we would go after we die. (Thank you Joshua, Uncle Clement, Ryan, Rae-ann, Evangelyn and Vanessa for always asking us thought-provoking questions and guiding us during the lessons!!)

I remember exploring these questions deeply by reading books. Some of my favourite books are The Case for Christ, The Reason For God, Mere Christianity and The Case for a Creator. I came to realise that the intricacies and beauty of nature were not mere coincidences that evolved through time, and that humans were not descendants of apes.  God is the creator of the world; John 1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

 

On most Sundays, a handful of us from the Exploring Christianity class would go for lunch together after Service. This has always been the safe space for us to ask questions and grow in our faith. I remember during one of our discussions, Vanessa shared about the Parable of the Sower. I didn’t know how to pray back then, but I remember hoping that God will soften my heart and guide me to continue seeking Him. Thankfully, God continued to guide me along, and with the work of the Holy Spirit, I came to Christ in June last year.

Ever since I knew God and came to Christ, many things have changed fundamentally. I used to think that I can control many aspects my life and because of this, I was easily stressed out and anxious. Now, I fully trust God to lead me in life, and through the vicissitudes of life. As John 8:32 said "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." I begin to feel real peace in life. I know that God will always be with me wherever I go, as He promised to us. “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Indeed, In him was life, and that life was the light of all people. Thank you Father Lord for leading me to seek you, and for loving us as children of God!

— Song Zihan (Baptism)

I’m a terrible sinner. When I was young, I didn't take God’s word seriously. I had no purpose in coming to church. I sang in Singspiration, loudly and boldly, while not understanding why I was singing. I attended Sunday school, but immediately forgot each lesson after I had left church. I dreaded Sundays, viewing it to be more of a ritual, a burden, rather than its true intent. As I grew older, I did not desire God - not in whatever I had done. I had not been putting God first in my exams, schoolwork, and sometimes even in service. When exams got the best of me, the advice 'trust God' left me feeling frustrated. Worse, when I sinned, guilt would linger in my heart, but I would just shrug it off.  I was a mess. However, things became even more intense as I reached my teenage years.

God had placed a trial in my life - bigger than ever before. I nearly lost a friend. I prayed day after day, night after night, hoping that God would watch over her, and protect her from Satan's hands. However, being displeased with the outcome, I often ended up frustrated, rather, hopeless. As much as I had relied on God, I had never fully trusted in his protection. In addition, at the end of 2024, I had travelled to the extreme - having roughly 3-4 trips in two months, with trips lasting from days to nearly 2 weeks. I was basically traveling every week. Though I am extremely grateful for such exhilarating trips, I was constantly exhausted, being entrapped in endless activities. It was at this time that I found myself straying from God. Not only had I grown weaker physically, but I had also grown weaker spiritually. I was not yearning for Christ. I did not cherish His presence, not half as much as I should.

Just a few days later, I attended the LTF Camp 2024, God reminded me of the heart-wrenching truth: I stood worthless before God. I am a sinner that needs God’s grace, being weak and inferior.

Yet, in God’s graciousness, He called me, yet again.

On the next day of camp, there was a morning devotion on the parable of the prodigal son. How the son, impatient and greedy, squanders his fathers’ money, leaves their home. Yet, his father, whom he hurt and betrayed, still celebrated his return home. Pointing back to Christ, He is our good shepherd, who has paid a high cost just to seek after us. He finds joy in seeking after us, and even uses great effort to seek after us, even as we sin against Him, again and again.  A wave of emotion swept past me. I was perplexed. I've ignored such a wonderful, perfect God for such a long time. I couldn’t understand. Why would He call me?

Today, I still don’t know why he would call me. Why He would send His son to experience such cruelty, such injustice, just to give us the eternal life we don’t deserve. However, I am immensely grateful and beyond touched. I have a saviour, whose love knows no bounds! Truly, How deep the Father’s love for us.

As I look back on the past year, I now understand that such trials He placed in my life, were all for my good. Through LTF Camp, I've been reconciled to my loving father. Even as I struggled, nearly losing a dear friend, God used her to bring me back to Him. His constant works of mercy and grace, in His word, in prayer, in song, had pulled her out from trenches of darkness.

Truly, Praise God! I’ve seen Him work in amazing ways, again and again. He’s renewed a new spirit in me: to do all things for His glory, and to rely on Him as my rock and my salvation. I can now firmly say I trust God, in His perfect plan He has for me, and in His unconditional provision. Though I can’t say I’m any less of a sinner, I’m thankful, and overjoyed to say: I have accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour.

— Sarah See Toh Shu Hui (Reaffirmation)

God has truly been good to me. In the 16 years that I’ve been on this earth, he has been nothing short of wondrous and amazing to me. I’ve been a Christian since I was born, brought to church since I was a baby, but God didn’t actually mean much to me until I was almost a teenager. At first, going to church and listening was all theoretical knowledge and while I understood most of what I heard, it didn’t really have much of an emotional resonance to me. I guess you could say it was because my life was relatively easy, and although my parents frequently reminded me to rely on God and I said I did, sometimes as a child I didn’t really do it as much. It was only after I entered secondary school, and encountering a few failures, did I truly see that the previous successes in my life were not to be taken for granted. The people around me, the relatively easy life that I had, my grades, my family around me were all given and provided by God, and it was always important to be grateful for them. So one of the biggest incidents that showed God’s great work to me would probably be my tryouts for the basketball team not that long ago. Basketball has always been a big thing in my life, with me playing basketball and watching basketball since I was in Primary School. It was because of that that I was really keen on making the team to play for the school. I had been training for a long time before the tryouts and I was hoping that everything would work out fine, but unfortunately during the trial, the coach focused on the more physical and stamina aspects instead of the more skill based and technical aspects of the game that I was good at. This led to me not meeting the mark for the trial at first and not getting in. I was quite sad and unhappy at the time, and I did question God a little and felt quite unhappy that he did not reward my training efforts. However, after calming down a little and talking to my friends, I decided to appeal the decision with the teacher. I didn’t hold very high hopes however, because appeals weren’t always successful. However, one of my friends from school also told me something, reminding me that God’s direction was always right and she really convinced me that no matter the outcome of the appeal it would work out fine because God would be behind it. This really made me feel much better and much more ready to accept the outcome even if it wasn’t what I wanted. One of the mornings after that, I received an email saying that I managed to make the team. At that moment, I really thanked God, as it was truly unexpected and amazing as I had felt that I didn’t perform as well as I wanted during the trial.

This is probably a really trivial matter compared to what many others have experienced, but for me, this really showed me that God was real and that he was working actively in my life to my benefit, as well as placing many different people in my life to encourage me to continue to look towards him. I thank God for allowing me this opportunity to reaffirm my faith in him, and I hope that this will be just the start of my long relationship with God.

— Thaddaeus Liew (Reaffirmation)

Growing up in a largely secular and meritocratic environment, I grew up judging my own worth by worldly accomplishments and acknowledgement. If I could not lead a life where I was useful, made my parents proud or was what society deems a good person - what would be the point of my existence?

A common saying I heard as a child was “没有免费的午餐”, meaning “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” - everything is transactional. So I thought, likewise, I needed to be perfect/ my best (or at least try to be) in order to earn the approval and love of people, of those important to me.

That is why it was so hard for me to wrap my head around the gospel when, by God’s grace and mercy, I first heard it at 12 years old. I believed and was deeply moved that Jesus Christ had come down to earth and been crucified for our sins to save us from eternal damnation. However, I had trouble grasping that because of Christ’s sacrifice, we undeserving and vile sinners are now forgiven and can enjoy eternal paradise just by believing. It felt that it was too good to be true. I thought, as with everything on earth, I had to do something to earn this salvation, to be worthy of it- be it via good deeds or good thoughts.

But this was a battle against sin I could not win, no matter how hard I tried. And every time a bad thought crossed my mind, I would feel awful about it, worry about my salvation, then feel even worse for having an ulterior motive for being good… it was an endless, tortuous cycle.

It took a few years, but by the Lord’s goodness and kindness, speaking to me through His word and His people, giving me a means to speak to Him through prayer, working in me through the Holy Spirit, my heart and mind were finally enlightened and illuminated to the truth. As an imperfect, innately sinful person, everything I do- even my very best- will fall short of God’s perfect standards. Only the Son of God’s perfect, blameless blood on the cross can earn us this salvation and Jesus alone is sufficient. And no, this does not mean we no longer do good deeds or try our best, but our motivation for doing so changes- we do all things not to earn God’s love but because God already loves us.

Now, this gospel good news is the most wonderful, freeing, comforting, joyous, merciful, gracious, loving blessing to exist. God loves me as His blood-bought child; not transactionally based on what I can give Him but solely because He sees me as His own, as His beloved daughter. To know I am loved for who I am and not what I can do, to the extent where Jesus himself came down and paid the ultimate price to wash us whiter than snow, is truly such an amazing grace.

My dear friends, salvation is not something you can earn; it is a gift, paid for by Jesus and offered to you so freely- if only you will accept it. May the Lord enter your hearts and be your eternal salvation, refuge and comfort, just like He resides in mine.

Exploring Christianity

What is the meaning of life? Why am I here? If there is a good and powerful God, why do we have global pandemics and unrest in this world?  The answers to these questions can be found in the Bible, which is God's word to man. 

Exploring Christianity is a course that looks at how the Bible addresses these pertinent questions about life. It is a 5-part series and is suitable for (1) Non-Christians seeking God and (2) Christians who would like to learn how to evangelise. 

The first session will be held on a Saturday, 10 May 2025, from 9-1pm at Beulah Centre. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Kindly note that the other 3 sessions will be held on Sunday mornings. All Lifers are encouraged to bring their non-Christian friends and family members to this introductory course on the Christian faith.
