I’d like to tell you about the most special birthday I’ve experienced.

It wasn’t my own birthday, but a classmate’s—when she invited me to her birthday party along with a bunch of other girls. We had dinner at her house and then went to see a movie. The movie was about teenagers looking for fun and answers to life’s basic questions. I was having fun at the party but didn’t expect what happened next.

The past year I had been deeply troubled inside by questions like “Was there a God?” and “What happened after I died?”, and this movie gave answers to those questions through the Bible. At this point in my life the Bible was familiar to me—I had just finished a church program about the Bible and attended church services with my parents. 

Although I thought of myself as a “good girl”, I knew inside I really wasn’t, for I had stolen, been disobedient to my parents, and was involved in other sins. During the movie, things were happening inside which can only be explained by God. It hit me hard that I was a sinner and there really was a God. I felt so sinful and wanted to know what to do to get rid of that awful feeling. The Bible was like God talking to me the first time. Using the Bible, the movie explained that everyone sinned and needed to be forgiven and that by believing in Jesus Christ, who died for my sin, I could be clean and forgiven.

It was like God was calling to me; this became a “do or die” moment in my life. There was a definite intense struggle inside me. Either I would trust Him and believe what the Bible said or ignore it. I knew there was a choice to be made, right then! I decided to find out more at the movie’s conclusion when an invitation was given to talk with someone about this decision. That person reviewed Bible passages and I realized I had never personally trusted in Christ. I confessed my sin to Him in prayer and believed He died for me and trusted in Him for my life. I then experienced relief from my sins and had peace inside.

Since that time over 50 years ago, I have lived with so much love, joy, and peace that Jesus has given me since that first day I met Him and He forgave me and came to live inside of me. The Bible has continued to give me assurance and understanding on how to live. I was born again at that birthday party – my spiritual birthday!

Jesus says: “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God … For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:3,16).
