Aditya Bhadra

I belong to a Hindu family and didn’t believe in Jesus even though my mother had become a believer.

I used to make fun of her. In college, I fell into bad company and started smoking and drinking and it became an addiction. I used to smoke 20+ cigarettes a day and used to get drunk frequently.

Then one night, I was caught by the warden of my hostel. He thought I had been drinking when I wasn’t. I was expelled. I went into depression.

Then a friend invited me to church. At first I refused but after his constant bugging, I finally went. And that day, the things that I heard touched me. I heard that Jesus loved me no matter how I was or what I had done.
That Jesus died for my sins and if I believed in Him, I would spend eternity with Him. I started to believe in Him and got water baptized that very moment.
When I came back to my room, I prayed to Jesus to make me stop all my bad habits. And the next morning when I woke up, all those bad habits had vanished. I was a new creation! And since then, my life changed completely.
People were amazed by seeing the change in me and I knew it was because of Jesus. Jesus then went on to do multiple miracles in every step of my life. He cured me of jaundice.
He helped me travel. Through me, Jesus touched other people and they started to believe. I met wonderful people who were believers.

And since then I have been loving and serving Jesus. Jesus can change your life too. All you need to do is ask.
