Good evening, Church. My name is Cassandra Daniels. I grew up in a religious household. I was baptised as a baby in the Catholic Church and I attended a Catholic school. Church was ritualistic and I rarely attended. At university, one of my friends encouraged me to attend her church. It was a Pentecostal church, catchy music and full of enthusiastic people happy to meet me. Church was exciting and something I look forward to. At church, I was driven by the music, my feelings, the social events and atmosphere. A few years later, after joining the workforce, I had stopped attending church. The pride of life began to creep in. My values and priorities shifted. I pursued the world with the world being my counsel and advocate. Around this time, I had the opportunity to go abroad. Here I attended another Pentecostal church. I attended church regularly and began to really read my Bible. I was convicted over my sins and asked God for forgiveness. COVID shortly hit the world and I travelled back home, being uncertain of my future. God was closing a door for me and was creating new opportunities and blessings. I came back with a desire to study God's word, now through expository teaching on the Bible. One Sunday, my sister and I were walking to church and received an NBC brochure, which we declined at the time since we were already attending a church. However, the following Sunday along the same path, I came across this brochure we had rejected on the ground and picked it up. This encounter eventually led us to NBC. At NBC, the preaching of God's word is challenging and convicting. The direct question of are you saved was confronting and made me question what it was to be saved. I needed to re-examine my beliefs and life. This was somewhat difficult, previously absorbing Catholic, Pentecostal and Calvinistic doctrine. Through undertaking Christianity Explained, reading the scriptures, and focusing on God's promises, I have more recently begun to lean on God's word. After a session with Pastor Simeon on January 7th, he encouraged me to make sure of my salvation. So I went home, went through the materials he gave me, including the stop tract, and called on Christ for salvation. Instead of relying on my own feelings and thoughts, I have now come to trust in what Jesus Christ has done for me, learning to rest on his finished work alone for my salvation. I know I am saved because I have called on Christ to save me. Romans 10, 13, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. I thank the Lord for his loving patience with me and drawing me to him through my life. Today I have been baptised and I stand before you all to profess the Lord Jesus as my personal Lord and saviour.
