Mari // 3rd Year // Geography

Having been raised in a Christian home, I’d heard about Jesus and why he came, but I didn’t understand that living for myself was, in reality, a rejection of God. Despite never claiming to be a Christian I’d still go to church as deep down I knew the Bible was true and didn’t want to shut the door on it completely. I thought I was getting the best of both worlds, but in hindsight, it was making me really unhappy.

Towards the end of my first year at University and over the following summer, I began to think seriously about the meaning of life and the certainty of death, which led me to feel very low and unsure of where to turn. I was convinced that death is not the end and began to panic about what this meant for me. As I read the Bible for myself I saw that God is just and has to punish any rejection of Him, but that he is also a God of Love and has offered Jesus, his Son to take this punishment for me on the cross.
