Spiritually, prior to coming to ABU I was a Christian for eighteen years but it was at ABU that I learnt that the message of salvation was not explained adequately enough; which retarded my development into a victorious Christian life. I knew nothing about the effectual calling to salvation, faith, justification, regeneration, sanctification, and glorification. These stood out as key elementary concepts for any Christian to understand the journey ahead of them. I loved Jesus with a passion but did not know how to love Him a’right. I literally ignorantly lived by works, and in a prideful self-righteousness (sounds humanistic; it never occurred to me that if I could do it, it meant that I didn’t need Christ). I used to think of others and say often times, “How can you be a Christian and still do that?” No one ever explained to me the comforting, humbling teaching of predestination. I now know that it is Christ who drew me to himself and he is watching over my journey with his unfailing love and tender mercies as the good Shepherd; and that the righteousness I possess is not from me but His. This is how it started and so will it be until glorification, I have nothing to boast about.
