Whether or not you have intentionally pursued a personal spirituality, religion and beliefs have left a profound impact in your life. Consciously or subconsciously, a secret exploration of a Hindu woman toward Christianity has influenced her in countless ways.
There comes a moment in your life when you start to question your beliefs. But it is true that there is nothing more central to your life than your understanding of religion and spirituality. It is what everyone is ought to engage in to fully grasp the reason for your existence.
Consider how this journey made an impact in the life of a Hindu woman named Jainy. It is no doubt that her understanding of her beliefs carries great deal of influence in her life and her family as well. For that reason, one of the important endeavors we can ever delve into is the exploration of it.
Living in a family devout of Hinduism or a certain religious sect is certainly a difficult task to handle when you decide to get on board the journey towards another religion. In fact, Jainy has had her own fair share of struggles when she started to feel the urge of knowing more.
Jainy Takes a “Journey of Religion” From Hinduism to Christianity
Sharing her life story to everyone, Jainy narrated that the great change took place one morning. While she was making tea for her family, she came across CBN’s India TV program called Ek Nayee Zindagi, which means “A Brand New Life.”
Furthermore, Jainy watched the program and witnessed the story of a girl whose family members all died. She explained, “This girl, who had lost everything, did not give up on life.” She then began to wonder, “what was the reason” behind that young individual’s drive to move forward in life.
As she continued to watch the channel, Jainy found out that the “reason” was Jesus. From that moment in her life on , she got the urge to learn more about Him. However, she was living in a strict “Hindu family” and she was forbidden from exploring other religions.
Jainy Shares Her Faith to Her Hindu Family
So for three months, Jainy “secretly” watched CBN and thereby learned about salvation and God’s forgiveness. That is the time when she knew it was the right time to make a decision. She went to her room, locked the door, got on her knees, confessed her sins, and gave her life to Jesus.
After that prayer, Jainy felt the peace of God and her heart was filled with love for the first time in her life. Because she wanted to share the same experience to her family, she prayed in front of them.
Eventually, her parents slowly grew in the Lord. They also started to watch the Christian show. She said, “It was around that time when my younger brother started to have suicidal thoughts.”
Jainy told her parents to pray for “Ajay.” As they were praying, God touched Ajay’s heart and delivered him from those destructing thoughts. Her mom and dad saw the change in her brother, and then, they started to believe that Jesus is the one true God.
As a response, her parents decided to “dedicate their lives” to Him. At present times, she and her family are all Christians. Jainy gratefully said that the show has helped her gain a deeper connection with the Lord.
For Jainy, it took a personal encounter with Jesus to bring her out of her former religion. In Christianity, she found that there is a living God who loves her more than anyone else does.
