As I grew up at church as a kid, I would physically be at church but my heart wouldn’t be there. I also had developed this immature view of God and my salvation. Sin was a big issue in my life, especially in high school and I always had a guilty conscious about it all the time because I couldn't stop. So I was caught up in this endless cycle of asking for forgiveness, repenting, then sinning again. It wasn't until my senior year in high school when I truly learned from my pastor Albert about God's grace that I ought to be living by grace and not by the rules. Instead of trying to be good law keeper, I found that God's grace and free gift of eternal life and unending love would then make me this crazy lover of God.
I truly began my relationship with God in college after sometime after I joined Korea Campus Crusade for Christ. God got me to know more obvious and wonderful that things I never quite realized through many different ways, through friends' lives, books, and sermons from church and KCCC. I started trusting that God cares more for my good infinitely more than I do. I also began to realize and apply to my life that God tells me that sin will hurt me, bring me death, and separation from Him. Being a "good law keeper", lover, and forgiver of others just simply became a byproduct from this trust in God's powerful unconditional love for me. I now find superior satisfaction in what I have in Christ.
